On October 13-16, 2016, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory hosted a scientific meeting about HIV/AIDS, “HIV/AIDS Research: Its History and Future.”
The conference brought together prominent HIV/AIDS experts to share their thoughts on the past, present and future of AIDS research. Participants included NIAID director Anthony Fauci, co-discoverers of HIV Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Robert Gallo, and many other distinguished researchers. A complete list of speakers and a detailed description of the meeting may be found here.
CSHL recorded and transcribed the talks from this conference. With support from the NEH, the Library and Archives created an extensive wiki with an index including people, places and institutions, and key scientific and technical terms.
This wiki is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of HIV/AIDS, the history of modern biomedical research, or the the scientific and policy struggles at the center of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
We at the CSHL Library and Archives are very proud of this project, which was completed in 2021. If you haven’t already, take a look!
The wiki can be accessed here.
