The upcoming meeting will seek to address the history of HIV/AIDS research over the last three decades. Never before have the pioneers of the science of retroviruses, the discoverers of human retroviruses, the developers of HIV/AIDS therapeutics, and key figures in important research findings come together to discuss the history of the field. Together this interdisciplinary group will review the key scientific, epidemiological, and clinical discoveries that created this field. The meeting will also touch on the present science of HIV/AIDS and the paths to the future control of this global pandemic, which tragically, has persisted for more than 35 years.
This is a unique opportunity to meet some of the most renowned scientists in the fields of HIV/AIDS research and therapeutics from around the world.
We invite you to submit a poster. The registration and poster deadline is October 1, 2016.
