A look at HIV-AIDS research
Laboratory Fellow Bette Korber of Theoretical Biology and Biophysics (T-10) will delve into the scientific front lines of the global HIV-AIDS research effort during her talk "Trying To Make A Vaccine Against A Moving Target: HIV And Its Diversity" at 6 p.m. on October 16 at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.
Korber will focus on how the human immune system fights infection as well as talk about immune "memory" and how vaccines work. Ultimately, she will extrapolate the importance of developing a viable AIDS vaccine.
There is no cost to attend the talk, to be held in the Education Annex on Grant Street next to the museum in downtown Santa Fe. The lecture is hosted by the Santa Fe Science Café For Young Thinkers.
The Café is sponsored by the Santa Fe Alliance for Science, the Santa Fe Institute, the Santa Fe Public Schools, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the New Mexico Public Education Department.
Korber also will appear on The Santa Fe Radio Café with host Mary-Charlotte Domandi at 8:30 Tuesday morning on KSFR 101.1 FM – streaming on the Web live at http://www.ksfr.org online.
