Our Mission
Welcome to our research group! We are passionate about developing safe and effective vaccines through clinical trials, backed by over twenty years of experience. Together we partner with respected international networks including the HIV Vaccine Trials Network and the COVID-19 Prevention Network to bring safe vaccines to people worldwide. Locally, we collaborate with organizations including our neighbors at Fenway Health and our wonderful community advisory board (CAB). We also enjoy connecting with the greater vaccine community during global calls and annual conferences.
We could not achieve our goals without the support of our incredible community of activists, providers, and study volunteers in Boston. Join us in advancing scientific knowledge and innovation as we work together to prevent HIV, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases!
