We want to thank Manuel Battegay and Jürgen Rockstroh for having organized an exciting EACS conference in Basel . The SHCS was definitely very visible with high quality presentations!
Many thanks to all clinicians who attended and researchers who presented their work. We also want to thank the basic scientists who have presented their work. It is always a bit difficult to feel at home at a mostly clinical conference. Nevertheless, it is important that basic science is also present and at EACS, there is a steady improvement seen. After all, progress in medicine is only possible by joint work between basic and clinical science.
At this occasion, we also want to congratulate
Roger Kouyos who has won the Hector Prize for the best European translational paper
“Tracing HIV-1 strains that imprint broadly neutralizing antibody responses”, and to
Alison Rodgers who has won the Hector Prize for the best clinical paper
”Risk of HIV transmission through condomless sex in serodifferent gay couples with the HIV-positive partner taking suppressive antiretroviral therapy (PARTNER): final results of a multicentre, prospective, observational study“
On behalf of the SHCS,
Andri Rauch
chairman of the scientific board
