Infectious diseases, such as Ebola, West Nile virus, and HIV/AIDS are caused by viruses that pose a significant threat to human health and raise concerns about bioterrorism. A free public lecture on new technologies for vaccine development and ways vaccines might help us battle emerging infectious disease will be presented by Gary J. Nabel, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Vaccine Research Center, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The lecture is the final event in the NIH Clinical Center's 2004 Medicine for the Public lecture series. Speakers in the series are physician-scientists working to translate science into medicine. This year, they have examined dietary supplements, the future of medicine, reading failure in America, the biomechanics of human movement, and addiction to medications.
