Funding for Medical Research Council: Confidence in Concept Project

We are happy to announce our group has received funding as part of the MRC CiC programme (£67,867) to study the use of antiretroviral drugs in HIV/AIDs prevention alongside our industry partners.

Funding will enable a Research Fellow to work within our group on this project for one year.

We should hopefully be in a position to advertise this post shortly depending on University advice and guidance.
