The Lancaster Hotel
Houston, TX

Purpose

CFA Basic Science Workshops are scheduled annually for scientists involved in the study of HIV. The objectives of this workshop are to:
  1. feature the work of prominent national and local bench researchers investigating the basic science of HIV infection;

  2. promote a dialogue and collaboration between Texas-based bench researchers and scientists from other parts of the country; and

  3. identify the implications for HIV/AIDS activism from the work presented.
