Dr. Lawrence Corey, the 2008 Lax Memorial Lecturer, is the Principal Investigator of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. The Network links global clinical trial sites conducting studies of potential HIV vaccines. Last year the Network drew media attention after a Merck vaccine candidate failed to protect participants from HIV infection. Data from this study has had a dramatic impact on HIV-1 vaccine development around the world. In March, the National Institutes of Health hosted a vaccine summit to review the implications of this data. We welcome Dr. Corey to Philadelphia to present a preview of emerging data. This is an exciting opportunity to reflect on the direction of future vaccine studies and community participation in their development.
