The Delaney AIDS Research Enterprise (DARE), one of the NIH’s Martin Delaney Collaboratories for HIV Cure Research, in conjunction with the DARE Community Advisory Board (CAB), will present a free eight-part webinar series on the latest developments in HIV cure-related cell and gene therapy beginning June 21, 2022.
The use of cell and gene therapy against HIV is a promising new cure-related strategy, with the potential to target the virus with a limited number of doses. The webinar series will allow participants to take part in discussions with experts in the field, learn about their cutting edge work, and hear about potential side effects that people should be aware of before they consider enrolling in these clinical trials.
The series begins in June 2022 and ends in February 2023. Each monthly session will last an hour, with question-and-answer periods that include DARE CAB members to ensure the community perspective is covered.
