On Monday, April 21, from 2–3 PM PT, CHIPTS hosted a virtual event entitled “In Case You Missed It: Key Highlights from CROI 2025.” This session aimed to spotlight key abstracts from the 2025 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), hand-selected by CHIPTS scientists – Drs. Dubov, Gorbach, Landovitz, and Shoptaw. Our featured CHIPTS scientists for the ICYMI, shared the innovative research they found particularly compelling for the CHIPTS community.
The session moderated by Dr. Cathy Reback, welcomed a broad audience, including students, community members, healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers, creating a space to explore how new scientific findings can inform and strengthen collective efforts to end the HIV epidemic.
