Working group
International Clinical Trials Unit
Short description
New HIV infections occur mostly outside of Europe. That is why the DZIF has set up its own task force to coordinate clinical trials on location (mainly in Africa). The "International Clinical Trials Unit" gives DZIF member institutions access to large existing cohorts and biobanks that they can use for clinical trials of newly developed drugs and vaccines. This in turn contributes significantly to the international visibility of the German Center for Infection Research.
