MHRP and collaborators are scheduled to speak and present at the 2016 Keystone Symposia HIV Vaccine and HIV Persistence meetings taking place March 20-24 in Olympic Valley, California.
Dr. Merlin Robb, MHRP’s clinical deputy director, is scheduled to speak during a plenary session focusing on immunologic correlates on March 21. Using examples gleaned from follow-up studies to MHRP’s groundbreaking RV144 vaccine trial, Dr. Robb’s will discuss his insights into optimizing the quality and durability of immune responses.
Dr. Lydie Trautmann, chief of MHRP’s cellular immunology section, will give an oral presentation during the HIV Persistence workshop on new technologies and approaches scheduled for March 23. Her presentation is titled, “Differentiation of Effector CD8 T Cells Toward Short Lived Cells Lacking Memory Potential During Acute HIV Infection.”
