“No Monkey Business: Nonhuman Primate Models for HIV Prevention” is a 1.5-hour webinar highlighting the latest research using nonhuman primate (NHP) models for HIV prevention, which will be held on Monday, 16 October 2017.
This mini-symposium co-chaired by Shelby O’Connor (University of Wisconsin) and Matt Reynolds (University of Wisconsin) will present a few pathbreaking studies using NHP models to test several active and passive immunization approaches for HIV prevention and discuss the latest developments in the field. This webinar is inspired by presentations at the “35th Annual Symposium on Nonhuman Primate Models for AIDS,” which took place in Madison, WI, in 2017 August, and will feature the following four short, 15 minute talks followed by a 30-minute panel discussion.
