The 28th Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research is the premier gathering in Canada for those working in all disciplines of HIV/AIDS research, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic.

In April, the BC-CfE was honoured to host Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences at the University of California, San Diego, to share her enthralling account of saving her own husband from a superbug-a bacteria pan-resistant to antibiotic treatment.

Top researchers from around the world gathered in Seattle last week to share the latest in the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases. The annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) is the preeminent HIV research meeting and attracts more than 4,000 HIV/AIDS research leaders. Among them were scientists from the BC-CfE, who presented research on PrEP, HIV and aging, phylogenetics and more.

The annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) brings together top basic, translational, and clinical researchers from around the world to share the latest studies, important developments, and best research methods in the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases.
