The 2007 Demystifying Medicine Series will begin January 9th and includes the presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research.  Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, clinicians and program managers, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases.  Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees.

The first lecture, held on January 9, 2006, is entitled "HIV:  New Clinical and Basic Problems Arise From Success", given by John Coffin (NCI), Lori Wiener(NCI) and Lauren Wood (NCI).
