Each year's symposium is organized around a translational aspect of HIV research targeted by our Center (basic, clinical and population studies). The format typically combines presentations from senior scientists at leading research institutes in the United States and abroad with a select number of UCSF postdoctoral researchers or clinicians working in complementary areas of research. The symposium was not held during the Covid pandemic.

2019 CFAR Scientific Symposium: CFAR's Return on Investment
The UCSF-Gladstone Center for AIDS Research will present the 2019 CFAR Symposium on Friday, May 31, 2019, in the Robertson Auditorium at the Mission Bay Conference Center. Organized jointly by the CFAR’s Administrative and Developmental Cores, the day will be a celebration of CFAR’s legacy in helping to catalyze the stellar HIV research happening here in San Francisco. We will be featuring the work of many former CFAR awardees/mentees who have gone on to be successful independent HIV researchers.

2018 CFAR Scientific Symposium: Opioids and HIV
The purpose of this meeting is to update the San Francisco Bay Area (HIV research) community on the opioid epidemic and the current state of the science, especially as it pertains to HIV. We envision a broad scope covering national epidemiology and trends, an overview of the drug market (heroin versus fentanyl, an overview of clinical interventions available, a panel discussions on innovative uses of buprenorphine and safe consumption spaces, current research and interventions happening at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and policy and social justice developments.
