Events
Each year, the AIDS Training Grant organizes a collaborative AIDS/HIV Training Grant Working Group Seminar for students, postdocs, and faculty. The goal is to provide a supportive space to present and discuss works-in-progress, focusing on innovative methods and analysis in HIV/AIDS research. This group fosters dynamic discussions and collaboration, advancing knowledge and methodology in the field.
