ORVACS

ORVACS (Objectif Recherche VACcin Sida) is a French non-profit international research consortium dedicated to developing a functional cure for HIV. Founded by leading experts at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, the organization focuses on therapeutic vaccines and innovative immunotherapy strategies to achieve long-term viral remission without antiretroviral therapy. ORVACS collaborates extensively with academic institutions and global health organizations to conduct multi-center clinical trials. Their work primarily targets the reduction of the viral reservoir and the enhancement of the immune system's ability to control HIV. The organization is structured as an endowment fund that bridges the gap between basic research and clinical application.
