One year ago today, our friend and colleague Dr. Joep Lange perished on flight ‪#‎MH17‬ en route to ‪#‎AIDS2014‬ in Melbourne, Australia. Joep was a dear friend, an esteemed colleague, a mentor, a leader and a hero in the field of Global Health, well beyond HIV and AIDS, says Dr. Julio Montaner, Director of the BC-CfE, Chair in AIDS Research and Head of Division of AIDS in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC. “We collaborated closely for many years in the global fight against HIV and AIDS. His research and his friendship will be deeply missed.” Dr. Montaner and Dr. Lange both served as IAS Presidents.
