Absolutely privileged to have met @MichelSidibe, AU Envoy for @AU_AMA_, former UNAIDS Director & Mali Health Minister. Our chat spanned topics ranging from #HIVcure development to future implementation. Should a cure be discovered, do we have systems to ensure equitable access?

1/ Thank you to the 55+ people who joined the 25th PLHIV Convening on HIV cure last Thursday. 🙏 We look forward to welcoming you to the Science Summit session on 30 September. @floriako @SboNkosiZA

We had the great pleasure of hosting a fantastic guest PhD student, Bridget Fisher, from @ProfSharonLewin's lab @TheDohertyInst for our joint work on improving cellular shock-and-kill strategies for #HIVcure. Shock is easy to spot, but kill is the hard part. Great job Bridget☺️!

"For decades, Africa’s role in HIV research was framed as that of a peripheral 'host, not driver'. The just-concluded 2025 International Aids Society (IAS) conference in Kigali, Rwanda, made it unmistakably clear: that era is over."

Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.
