Robert Gallo, 87, is still hunting for a cure to HIV. And he’s bringing his research to Tampa this summer.
Gallo, an influential scientist who’s credited as the co-discoverer of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is joining the University of South Florida faculty in July. He plans to dive into a range of subjects as director of a new virology center.
In 2011, he co-founded the Global Virus Network, an international coalition of virologists, which is moving its headquarters to the university under a five-year agreement in which USF will pay the network $2 million per year for support. He previously led the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland.
