Mark was a pioneer in research, political advocacy and scientific breakthroughs on HIV.\u00a0 He is broadly known for his participation in the discovery in 1989 that 3TC drug could be used to treat HIV infection.\u00a0 Until now, he was the research chief on AIDS at the Lady Davis Institute on Medical Research (LDI), director of the AIDS Center at McGill University located at the LDI and professor of Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology at McGill University in Montreal.\u00a0 In Canada, his home, he was honored at the Canadian Hall of Medical Fame for his achievements.<\/p>\n

In addition to his performance as president, one of Mark\u00b4s greatest contributions to the IAS was the foundation of the Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS) in 2004,\u00a0 which he was still supporting as one of its three editors in chief.\u00a0 His role with JIAS was the evidence of his deep belief and commitment to support emerging researchers and to provide platforms to share their work.\u00a0 Mark\u00b4s vision on JIAS not only included a broad dissemination of findings of relevant research to end HIV epidemics, but a broader purpose to guide new generations of researchers and scientists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
