From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

February 15, 2012

In "the first in a series of conversations with officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discussing the CDC's role in global HIV and tuberculosis (TB) research and development," the Center for Global Health Policy's "Science Speaks" blog interviews Kayla Laserson, director of the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI)/CDC Field Research Station in Kisumu, Kenya. Laserson answers questions about her work with the CDC, the latest research projects underway at KEMRI/CDC, and progress in Kenya's HIV response since she began working in Kisumu six years ago, among other topics (Mazzotta, 2/14).
