Organized as the first modern biomedical product development partnership (PDP), IAVI has been acknowledged for revolutionizing the way vaccines and medicines are produced for the world�s poor. Analyses by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation show that PDPs are the main contributors to the pipeline of drugs, diagnostics and vaccines for diseases of poverty. IAVI remains the only PDP dedicated to an AIDS vaccine.IAVI�s scientific team, drawn largely from the vaccine industry, researches and develops AIDS vaccine candidates and conducts HIV clinical trials and studies through partnerships with over 40 academic, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and government institutions. Using industry-like project management systems, IAVI directs and prioritizes a portfolio of promising products, moving them swiftly through the vaccine development pipeline.IAVI delivers/manages programs globally through its NY headquarters, regional offices (Nairobi, Johannesburg, New Delhi, Amsterdam) and signature collaborative ventures, including laboratories in London, New York, California, India; 12 clinical collaborating research centers in Africa and India; dozens of member labs in 3 research consortia; more than 50 policy and advocacy partnerships worldwide.The Fellowship ProgramIAVI�s newly created 2 year post-doctoral Fellowship Program in AIDS Vaccine Research & Development is a premier program that provides a unique opportunity for talented young post-doctoral candidates to train alongside some of the leading scientists in the vaccine field today, as well as to contribute to the history-making effort to develop an HIV vaccine.
