There is no place for transphobia in any form.

We must stand up, speak out against hate, and support the trans community to ensure everyone can live healthy, full lives. 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Thursday everyone! CRISPR for Cure is looking to increase our Community Advisory Board. Those interested should contact our Community Engagement Coordinator at [email protected] for more details.

[Penn CFAR CAB @PennCFARCAB]

This research study aims to investigate the long-term cognitive effects of COVID-19. If you are aged between 18-65 and currently living w/ #HIV, please contact us to be a part of our study & help us understand the impact of #longCOVID in people living with HIV! @PennNeurology

[Penn CFAR CAB @PennCFARCAB]

On behalf of the Inter-CFAR HIV & Aging Working Group led by @EmoryCFAR & Miami CFAR, you're invited to attend a seminar 4/10 @ 12pm EST. Dr. Leah Rubin will discuss Patterns, Predictors & Mechanisms of Cognitive Dysfunction in People Aging w/HIV

Two clinical trials show that giving a single infusion of genetically modified CD4 cells increased CD4 count, reduced the size of the #HIV reservoir, and controlled viral loads over durations lasting weeks to years.
