The Third Coast CFAR for AIDS Research (TC CFAR) congratulates our members who presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) on March 3-6, 2024, in Denver! The conference provides a forum for basic scientists and clinical investigators to present, discuss, and critique their investigations into the epidemiology and biology of human retroviruses and associated diseases. CROI has facilitated the presentation of important discoveries in the field, thereby accelerating progress in HIV and AIDS research. The best and most consequential original HIV research defined the science at CROI 2024.
