THE MATH OF HIV

This issue of IAVI Report covers a meeting at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where leading researchers gathered to commemorate 30 Years of HIV Science. We also report from a conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands, that illustrated how mathematical modeling and computational biology can illuminate everything from the evolution of HIV to the networks through which it is transmitted. Another article explores unusual approaches to designing HIV vaccines to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV. Finally, we report on the discovery that a candidate vaccine vector derived from cytomegalovirus induces highly unusual T-cell responses in monkeys. These responses might be uniquely harnessed to improve future vaccines. We invite you to visit our blogfor regular updates on issues and discoveries of relevance to HIV vaccine development.  READ MORE
