Abstract

The global HIV epidemic continues to grow in certain regions while contracting in others, necessitating a broadened research agenda, including clinical pharmacology of tuberculosis, hepatitis, malaria, and immune activation/inflammation, underscoring the need for a coordinated quality assurance approach. A comprehensive program has been developed and implemented by the University at Buffalo HIV Clinical Pharmacology Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program, funded by the National Institutes of Health.
