Millions of people worldwide are still plagued by today's infectious diseases, which have proven to be incredibly difficult to restrain. The Emory Vaccine Center is committed to fight against these modern killers in its assembly of one of the largest centers ever created to forge new vaccine strategies. Our team consists of over 100 scientists working to make some of the world's most challenging health problems --AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, influenza, and respiratory illnesses --a thing of the past.

There is Hope for the future. A promising AIDS vaccine developed at the Center is currently in clinical trial.

Your involvement will assure that our team is able to continue this important work. Currently, we have ongoing opportunities for volunteers.

The Hope Clinic: Researchers at the Emory Vaccine Center’s Hope Clinic are seeking healthy volunteers for a study of a new investigational vaccine being developed by Merck & Co., Inc. for the prevention of HIV. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of the vaccine and to assess the vaccine’s ability to stimulate immune responses against HIV in immunized volunteers.
