Cape Town 2009: Collaboration with the International AIDS Society
Mother-to-Child Transmission presented by Dr. Laura Guay, Vice President of Research at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
Dr. Laura Guay serves a dual appointment as vice president for research at the Foundation and research professor at The George Washington University (GWU) School of Public Health and Health Services. Dr. Guay received her M.D. from GWU in 1985, and went on to a pediatrics residency at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Guay was a visiting lecturer at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, from 1988 to 1991, and then returned to CWRU to complete her fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases. She then spent seven more years in Uganda, where she worked on the landmark HIVNET 012 trial, which determined the effectiveness of single-dose nevirapine in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Prior to joining GWU, Dr. Guay was a member of the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Most recently, her research has focused on reducing the rate of HIV transmission in breast-feeding infants and on the testing of an HIV vaccine in infants.
