[Richard]

Hi All, My name is Richard de Rooij, I’m Dutch, meaning I’m from the Netherlands. I’m a MD, and I’m working in the vaccine development since 2009. In Sep 2015 I joined the HIV vaccine clinical development team in Janssen. I’m based in Leiden, and I live in the Hague. In my role as medical lead I’m co-responsible for the clinical development plan, the design and conduct of the clinical trials and the safety of the the volunteers that participate in our trials. We have a vaccine in development, using vectors and proteins, and so far the results look promising. We closely collaborate with the NIH. Recently I was invited by AVAC to talk about our program in Brussels. Maybe some of you attended. I’m looking forward to work with you, it is  exiting seeing so many people from different nationalities and background. Cheers, Richard
