Subject: Suggested experts for focus groups and committee
Dear Dr. Baltimore,
As you engage in your scientific "focus groups" and
pull together your committee to guide the AIDS vaccine effort
for NIH, I wanted to suggest you might contact and include
some world-class scientists who have spent most of their
professional careers involved in vaccine research and
development (see below, listed alphabetically). A quick
MEDLINE search of their published articles would attest to
this expertise.
None of those listed know that I am sharing
with you their names and whatever contact info I have for them
Although many of those listed do not have
direct experience in HIV or AIDS, they are pretty bright people,
and in a few months of targeted reading could probably bring
themselves up-to-date on what is now known about the
immunology and pathogenesis of HIV. Their career
experience in the "art" of developing vaccines, however,
might provide some useful balance for others in your focus
groups and committee who may know HIV well, but lack such
vaccine R&D experience.
Regards,
Bruce Weniger
