As depicted below, the ten spheres of HIV/AIDS research in which Emory excels or is poised to excel in the near future (vaccine development, vaccine testing, HIV pathogenesis, drug discovery, experimental therapeutics, clinical research, biomedical prevention interventions, behavioral and social prevention interventions, translational research, and international studies) are coalesced into five research domains that concern research into either the prevention of HIV infection (primary prevention) or its complications (secondary prevention).
The Emory CFAR Administrative Core, Developmental Core and the five CFAR Science Cores depicted below exist to provide research support to HIV/AIDS investigators working within these five domains.
