COVID-19 Conversations with LARRY COREY

This week we speak to Larry Corey, former President and Director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and in 1998, the founder of the world’s largest publicly funded international collaboration conducting clinical trials of HIV vaccines, the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN). Larry Corey is one of the leaders responsible for bringing together the expertise and infrastructure of HVTN, the HIV Prevention Trials Network and the Atlanta-based Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium in a national collaboration to speed the development of a vaccine to stop this coronavirus – the COVID-19 Prevention Network, CoVPN.

During this dialogue with civil society, Larry shared his insights and perspectives on what this new formation means to him personally, his lifetime work at the HVTN and shares insights into what he thinks the private sector, civil society and community advocates can contribute to the collective in advancing the global COVID19 response.
