About the Symposium
The Andy I. Choi Mentoring Program of the UCSF-GIVI Center for AIDS Research offered Bay Area investigators a glimpse into the future of HIV research with a half-day symposium by CFAR mentees. The program featured a group of respected HIV/AIDS investigators from the Mentoring Program and a keynote address from Associate Director Dr. Steven Deeks. The program was moderated by Drs. Jonathan Fuchs and Monica Gandhi, Co-Directors of the Andy I. Choi Mentoring Program.
A highlight of the symposium was the presentation of the CFAR Early-Career Investigator Awards to recognize and honor the three outstanding investigators of 2015.
