Human Genome Project

Helping control the Spread of AIDS in Vietnam
For the past three years Eric Krakauer has been collaborating with staff of the CDC and the National AIDS Standing Bureau of Vietnam on efforts to address that country's worsening epidemic. The newly formed Vietnam-CDC-Harvard AIDS Partnership is an outgrowth of his work. The program engages Harvard medical students in epidemiological research throughout that country.
