ABOUT THIS EVENT

Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating in the USA, Dr Anthony S. Fauci has remained a voice of authority and reason, bringing scientific evidence to the fore. 

Throughout an extraordinary career as a scientist, a physician and a public servant, Dr Anthony S. Fauci has been an adviser to seven US presidents on HIV/AIDS, and domestic and global health issues. A key figure in the global response to HIV/AIDS, his experience of this epidemic has informed his career ever since. 

As the world struggles to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Anthony S. Fauci sits down with Tegan Taylor, co-host of the ABC’s Coronacast, to discuss the past, the present and the future – from what we learned from the HIV/AIDS epidemic to what the ongoing impact of COVID-19 will be.  

The inaugural David Cooper Lecture honours the legacy of the Kirby Institute’s Founding Director. Professor David Cooper AC, who passed away in 2018, was an internationally renowned scientist and HIV clinician, who laid the foundations for Australia’s ongoing global leadership in the fight against the global HIV epidemic. 

This event is co-presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas, Kirby Institute and UNSW Medicine & Health.

ABOUT THE DAVID COOPER MEMORIAL FUND

Professor David Cooper AC was the Founding Director of the Kirby Institute, a respected HIV clinician and an internationally renowned researcher. He passed away in March 2018. 

David initiated ground-breaking, collaborative research that has saved countless lives across the world. He achieved more in his life than most people, but his work was nowhere near complete when he passed away. He was acutely aware of health injustices and believed it was unacceptable that infectious diseases disproportionately impacted the world’s most disadvantaged communities. 

The David Cooper Memorial Fund ensures that David’s vision of equitable access to infectious disease prevention, treatments and cures, can be carried forward into the future.
