Director's International Seminar Series - Academic Year 2005-2006

These opportune seminars host a series of distinguished visitors to Yale that are conducting HIV/AIDS research in an international setting. The speakers lead a discussion on a cutting-edge issue in international HIV/AIDS research or discuss current trends in the ever-changing epidemic. Most discussions are followed by an informal, interactive question-and-answer session with the audience, which ranges from faculty to undergraduate students interested in HIV/AIDS-related issues.
