HIV Reservoirs Cure Initiative to Meet in Boston at CROI 2011
A research team will meet at the end of February in Boston where the 18th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) will be held, to work on a strategic research plan for an HIV cure and prepare the program of the 5th edition of the 'HIV Persistence, Reservoirs & Eradication Workshop'.Toulon, France, February 14, 2011 -- Dr Alain Lafeuillade, MD, PhD -a French doctor and researcher working on HIV Reservoirs- launched in 2003 the first international workshop on HIV persistence during therapy. Together with an international team of scientists, they are addressing the reasons why HIV persists in treated individuals, the so called 'HIV reservoirs'. In order to achieve a HIV cure one day, researchers have to understand how this reservoir is established and how it is maintained.
This research team will meet at the end of the month in Boston where the 18th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) is to be held. They will work on a strategic research plan and prepare the program of the 5th edition of their workshop in December 2011.
“With this multi-disciplinary working group, I am confident that we will bring patients better therapeutic strategies in a near future” told Doctor Alain Lafeuillade, Head of Department of Infectious Diseases in France and coordinator of this initiative. “Our main force is to promote innovative ideas outside the beaten tracks”, he added.
