HVTN Partnership: Vaccinology of HSV

Guest Speaker: Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, Ph.D

Akiko Iwasaki, PhD, a professor of immunobiology at Yale School of Medicine and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, turned her focus to SARS-CoV-2 soon after reading the first reports coming out of China, before COVID-19 surfaced in the United States. Though she has long been recognized for her work within the scientific community, her work around COVID-19 has raised her media profile considerably. She is frequently quoted by newspapers and reporters, and has amassed a huge Twitter following of people seeking out her research updates. (Iwasaki believes that public education is a key ingredient for slowing the spread of the virus.)
