Whoop! Whoop! Stan has made it onto the RIO study team! @RIOtrial @ukcherub
The @RIOtrial is one of the very first testing amazing new ‘broadly neutralising antibody therapy’ in people living with HIV. Thank you to our amazing participants who give up so much time, dedication and blood samples!! Research would be impossible without you.

Exciting to see this fantastic collaboration led by Brad Jones and Marina Caskey up and running. Vital to keep the cure for HIV on the research agenda.
Here we go! Excited and humbled to be funded as a Martin Delaney collaboratory - the flagship @NIH program focusing on curing #HIV. Our program starts on Monday. We are ready to make an impact.

Forty years ago today the world changed forever with the first reported cases of what we now know to be HIV. Since then, more than 30million lives have been lost to the epidemic. We've come a long way in the fight against HIV and seen huge medical progress – but it's not over.
