Wednesday, April 27, 2016 marked the beginning of a meeting of the minds. Young minds. Curious minds. Brilliant minds all focused on one thing – stopping the spread of sexually transmitted HIV in women.
Hosted by Dr. Marc Baum, president and senior faculty at the Oak Crest Institute of Science, the three-day Annual Meeting supported by the Integrated Preclinical/Clinical Program for HIV Microbicides and Biomedical Prevention (IPCP-MBP) program brought together a team of researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the University of Texas Medical Branch, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Scripps Research Institute, the University of California, Los Angeles and San Diego, Vanderbilt University, Miriam Hospital and Auritec Pharmaceuticals.
Attendees at this years’ event, held in Pasadena, CA, included key personnel, Project and Core Leaders and additional stakeholders who are involved in this lifesaving research. “This meeting gives us the opportunity to get together to discuss science, the challenges we are facing and to come up with creative ideas,” says Principal Investigator, Dr. Baum. “Face-to-face meetings like this are really instrumental in driving this project forward and in the success of our research.”
