Mark Wainberg Lecture

Dr. Mark Wainberg (1945–2017) was a veteran leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS.  CAHR initiated the Mark Wainberg Lecture as a way to honour the “voice fighting AIDS publicly since the earliest days”.  Since 2001, the CAHR Conference Scientific Committee has bestowed the honour of the Mark Wainberg lecturer to a Canadian researcher to both honour Dr. Wainberg’s contributions, and to recognize the efforts of others in the research community who exemplify the same traits of excellence, perseverance, and commitment to the cause of finding innovative and groundbreaking ways to address the epidemic.
