  • HIV Forum congrulates Nina Mani on her new position at FDA
    • MAY-17-13 Please join the Forum in congratulating Nina Mani on an exciting new career move. Nina is leaving the Forum, but she is not going far – starting June 3 she will join the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation Research, Division of Antiviral Products. That we will miss her is the understatement of the century. But the offer to join our colleagues at the FDA as a project manager presented a phenomenal opportunity – an excellent fit for her career path. We congratulate Jeff, Kim, Jules and Patrick on an excellent choice! We imagine that many of you will have the pleasure of interacting with her in her new capacity.

2011 HIV/AIDS Mini-Summit Keynote Address by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci


The Forum for Collaborative HIV Research hosted a special ceremony on September 22, 2011 in Washington in conjunction with a Mini-HIV/AIDS Summit on Capitol Hill. Marking the 30th Anniversary of the beginning of the HIV/AIDS crisis, this half-day symposium brought together many of the nation’s scientists, clinicians, public health leaders and advocates to (1) highlight progress in the ‘world’ of science and (2) focus on the challenges of bringing that progress to fruition in the ‘world’ of clinical practice.

Following the Mini-Summit, the Forum presented Dr. Anthony Fauci (Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) with the 2nd Annual C. Everett Koop HIV/AIDS Public Health Leadership Award for his seminal contributions to the understanding of the AIDS virus and the development of highly effective strategies for the therapy of people with this serious disease.
