Researchers Unveil HIV Persistence & Reservoirs Meeting Advanced Programby Star One Public Relations Friday, April 08, 2011
The prospect of efficiently controlling HIV persistence in infected persons without permanent antiretroviral therapy is the hard task a group of researchers has addressed since 2003. By organizing every 2-year the “International Workshop on HIV Persistence, Reservoirs & Eradication Strategies”, they sum-up their current advances in the field. The Steering Committee has just announced the preliminary program of the next edition of the workshop, to be held December 6-9, 2011. Understanding the mechanisms of HIV persistence implies molecular biologists, virologist and immunologists to work together. Then, this leads to new strategies that are implemented by clinical researchers. This preliminary program therefore includes top researchers from these different areas, coming from USA, Europe and Australia. These 3 days meeting will go from the animal models of HIV persistence to the currently ongoing trials of gene therapy. It will combine state-of-the-art presentations, un-published data submitted by participants, and extended time for discussion. The previous workshops have been very successful with more than 150 top class scientists from all across the globe attending it. The workshop is an excellent opportunity for these delegates to interact and share information with other researchers, governmental agencies, patients representatives and pharmaceutical companies. About the Workshop: The top scientists who have devoted their efforts to this workshop include: Alain Lafeuillade, Department of Infectious Diseases, General Hospital, Toulon, France, José Alcami, AIDS Immunopathology Unit, Institute of Health "Carlos III", Madrid, Spain; Monsef Benkirane, CNRS, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Montpellier, France; Nicolas Chomont, Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute, Port Ste Lucie, FL, USA; Tae-Wook Chun from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, USA; David Margolis, University of North Carolina, Chapell Hill, USA; Robert Gallo from The Institute of Human Virology, Baltimore, USA; Marie-Lise Gougeon, Antiviral Immunity, Biotherapy & Vaccine Unit, Pasteur Institute, Paris, France; Mario Stevenson from the University of Miami - Miller School of Medicine, Miami, USA; and François Barré-Sinoussi, Pasteur Institute, Paris, France, 2008 Nobel Laureate for Medicine.
