“Together, we can stop HIV and AIDS,” says incoming Osler lecturer

A Professor of Medicine and Head of the Division of AIDS at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Dr. Julio Montaner is a globally renowned researcher best known for his pioneering work on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). After determining cART’s efficacy for patients already living with HIV/AIDS, Dr. Montaner went on to show how cART could be used to prevent HIV transmission, a finding that has revolutionary implications for today’s global AIDS Pandemic.

Dr. Montaner holds the endowed Chair in AIDS Research at UBC, serves as Director of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and Physician Program Director for HIV/AIDS at St. Paul’s Hospital, is the UNAIDS Global Advisor on HIV Therapeutics and is the Past-President of the International AIDS Society.

On Oct. 26, Dr. Montaner will be in Montreal to deliver the 39th annual Osler Lectureship at McGill, a talk titled “From Treatment to Prevention: Rethinking our Approach to Contagious Diseases.” We caught up with Dr. Montaner ahead of his talk.
