EVMS researchers describe their work at Research Day 2005.

NORFOLK—The EVMS Office of Research and the Research Advisory Committee will host the 18th Annual Research Day Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the Lewis Hall auditorium, atrium and courtyard. All medical students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, residents, faculty and staff at EVMS are encouraged to attend.

Edward M. Johnson, Ph.D., keynote speaker and chairman of microbiology and molecular cell biology, will present “Direct Role of HIV in Opportunistic Infection of the Brain in AIDS.” Johnson, who joined EVMS early this year, came to EVMS from Rockefeller University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where he was most recently a professor in the medical school’s cancer center and vice chairman for research in the department of pathology. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in pharmacology at Yale University and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Johnson brought NIH funding for three major projects to EVMS, including two which focus on HIV’s role in activating several viruses that cause opportunistic infections.
