Scientific Committee
APACC Fellows (2023-2024)
The purpose of the APACC Fellows Program is to provide early-career investigators with an opportunity to learn about HIV and co-infection research, conference organization, and leadership through serving on the Organizing Committee of APACC. Fellows will help to develop conference session content for other early-career investigators and promote APACC over a two-year term. The Organizing Committee is responsible for the overall content of the conference program, driving conference engagement, and selecting abstracts and panel topics. Fellows will receive support to attend the conference for each of the two years in which they participate (remotely or in-person, as appropriate).
Scientific Program Coordinator
Outgoing Fellows Experiences
"Embracing the APACC 2023-2024 fellowship was a journey of growth. I had the privilege of shaping my own conference workshops, contributing to research as a peer reviewer of submitted abstracts, and collaborating on the conference program. It's not just a fellowship; it's a chance to evolve in a supportive community, where your contributions matter and connections thrive. Joining the APACC fellowship program opens doors to meaningful experiences, making your early-career journey richer and more rewarding."
"This fellowship has given me the opportunity to learn from experienced researchers and clinicians how large regional conferences are put together . It has also given me a platform to speak about topics that I am passionate about through the capacity-building sessions, with valuable guidance and mentorship from the faculty. Furthermore, meeting and working with the other fellows with different interests and viewpoints was exciting and inspiring."
"Working with a global team of esteemed experts in HIV research to coordinate and plan APACC has proven to be an enlightening experience. This opportunity allows me to keep up with the latest research trends across diverse fields (that otherwise I might get less exposure to in my daily work), expand my professional network, and most importantly – observe and learn how to facilitate the intellectual exchange in this field via organizing academic conferences like APACC. As an early-career fellow, we feel free to ask questions or propose ideas without fearing being judged or dismissed in such a supportive atmosphere where the senior members exhibit a remarkable openness to engage with junior fellows. Every individual (from committee chairs to administrative staff) and each interaction underscores a collective commitment to the sincere goal of eradicating HIV in the Asia-Pacific region."
