CROI 2010: webcasts and abstracts online

The 17th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), one of the most important annual HIV meetings, was held this year from 16-19 February. As with previous meetings, this conference publishes extensive webcasts, and these are already online.

Making this scientific content available without login or subscription is itself a significant achievement. It is a model for broadening access to medical research to a degree that is currently unmatched by any other meeting.

The webcasts this year include oral presentations and audience questions, poster discussions, the opening lectures and the pre-meeting set of training workshops for young investigators.

The conference website also includes a searchable abstract database.

Full coverage from the meeting will follow in the next issues of HTB, HTB South and ARV4IDUs.

Until then, we encourage readers to view lecture lectures directly via the above links.
