IAVI Report

Right now in vaccine research, mRNA has the momentum. For HIV, there are currently several formulations of experimental vaccines in early-stage human clinical trials. Apart from some overlap in strategy, they have one main thing in common — they rely on mRNA. This trend reflects the intense overall interest in mRNA-based vaccine development, given its…

After 25 years of IAVI Report, we’re making a few changes. In 2020, life changed for many across the globe. As SARS-CoV-2 began its deadly march through humankind, countries entered lockdown, offices and schools closed, and many of us who weren’t on the so-called front lines of the pandemic were largely sheltered within our homes.…

COVID-19 has made stark inequities in global access to vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics more visible and alarming than ever.

Stanley Plotkin discusses the greatest progress in vaccine development in more than half a century and the lingering barriers to an effective HIV vaccine.

After four decades of HIV research, the field seeks to make progress against one of the most difficult pathogens vaccine researchers have ever faced.

A timeline of major milestones in the decades-long effort to develop an HIV vaccine.

In conversation with IAVI founder Seth Berkley and CEO Mark Feinberg

This year IAVI is celebrating its 25th anniversary. And so are we. The first issue of IAVI Report was published in the summer of 1996. It described IAVI’s formation and mission, offered the scientific reasons for why an AIDS vaccine was feasible, chronicled advances in AIDS vaccine research, included the voice of one of Uganda’s…

In conversation with four experts who are applying lessons from the decades-long battle against HIV/AIDS to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

John Nkengasong warns against complacency setting in as vaccines trickle into many African countries.

Researchers describe the experimental HIV vaccine approach called germline targeting as “shepherding” the immune system. They hope it will lead to greener pastures.
