Presented in collaboration with UCSF's Center for AIDS Prevention Studies and the UCSF AIDS Research Institute, the 2009 symposium highlighted the most promising areas of biomedical HIV/AIDS prevention, with presentations spanning the spectrum of basic, clinical, translational, behavioral and international HIV/AIDS prevention research.

About the Symposium

The Andy I. Choi Mentoring Program of the UCSF-Gladstone Center for AIDS Research offers Bay Area investigators a glimpse into the future of HIV research with a half-day symposium featuring the work of CFAR Mentoring Program participants and recipients of CFAR Developmental awards. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Marguerita Lightfoot, Director of the UCSF Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), to deliver the Keynote. Drs. Jonathan Fuchs and Monica Gandhi, Co-Directors of the Andy I. Choi Mentoring Program, will serve as moderators.

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.

The 2019 Inter-CFAR Women and HIV meeting will include mentorship for early career investigators, networking opportunities, and competitively reviewed abstracts for oral and poster presentations.

Abstracts are due on July 16, 2019. Announcement for registration and call for abstracts will be released in June 2019.
