Description
Dr. Beatrice Hahn is Professor of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Hahn's talk entitled “Out of Africa: Tracing the Ape Origins of Human AIDS and Malaria” described the work that she and her group have done to characterize and track the evolution and transmission of AIDS and Malaria from non-human primate species in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Hahn’s research has established the foundation for our fundamental understanding of how Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was originally introduced into the human population. Through both geographical and epidemiological studies she determined that the virus HIV-1, which has afflicted more than 70 million people and caused more than 30 million deaths worldwide, was transmitted to humans in the first third of the 20th century.
