Featured Speaker: Dr. Bruce Walker
Dr. Bruce Walker is the founding Director of the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard, a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Professor of Practice at MIT, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator. In addition to his clinical duties as a board certified Infectious Disease specialist, his research focuses on cellular immune responses in chronic human viral infections, with a particular focus on HIV immunology and vaccine development. He leads an international translational clinical and basic science research effort to understand how some rare people who are infected with HIV, but have never been treated, can fight the virus with their immune system. Dr. Walker is also an Adjunct Professor at the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine in Durban, South Africa. There he collaborates with the Doris Duke Medical Research Institute at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and serves as a Principal Investigator in the HIV Pathogenesis Program, an initiative to study the evolution of the HIV and the immune responses effective in controlling this virus, as well as to contribute to training African scientists. He is a co-founder of the  the KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for TB and HIV (K-RITH, recently renamed the Africa Health Research Institute), an initiative initially funded by HHMI to build a state of the art TB-HIV research facility at the heart of these dual epidemics in South Africa.
