The HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program (UCSD), in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, was pleased to convene the 3rd Methods in International NeuroAIDS Research Symposium on July 14-16, 2011 in Frascati, Italy. This meeting was linked with the 4th International Meeting on HIV Infection and the Central Nervous System (see attached), and preceded the International AIDS Society (IAS) conference in Rome.
The symposium included presentations and discussions regarding advances in international assessment methods (e.g., detecting neurocognitive change) as well as laboratory-based approaches to detecting HIV-related CNS changes. Established investigators and trainees had opportunities to present recent findings from international NeuroAIDS research projects.
The goal of this meeting was to bring together a limited number of junior and senior investigators and foster international scientific collaboration as well as discuss international neuroAIDS in the coming decade. Attendees were either trainees or established investigators with experience or strong interest in studies in the area of international NeuroAIDS.
