The Hope Center Clinic The Emory Vaccine, known as Emory's Hope Clinic , is a clinical trial branch of the Emory Vaccine Center currently located near Dekalb Medical Center in Decatur, Georgia. The original Executive Director of this clinic is Dr. Mark Feinberg, who led from 2002 - 2004, was followed by Dr. Carlos Del Rio from 2004 to 2006. Clinic staff comprised an average of 10 -15 employees during this time. Dr. Mark Mulligan became Executive Director in 2006 and remains the director of The Hope Clinic today.
Sponsors are from NIH, CDC, biomedical industry, Georgia Research Alliance, industrial resources, and philanthropic contributions (including the annual Vaccine 200 AIDS bike ride). The Emory-CDC (CTU) and Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU) Clinical Testing Unit is two major NIH grants given to The Hope Clinic. In 2013 The Hope Clinic moved to its current location at 500 Irvin Court, Suite 200 in Decatur, Georgia. We have grown to 65 employees and now occupy a much larger space that includes 8 exam rooms, Pharmaceutical Drug Investigations, large conference rooms and large rooms dedicated to our research and processing lab. The clinic continues to grow and is currently being renovated to create more office space, storage and larger conference rooms. A
Since 2012, Hope Clinic has studied HIV-negative subjects and the influence of protein antigens on a healthy immune system. This information is collected and studied together with potential drug discovery for HIV-positive patients using a large immune system boost.
Hope Clinic relies on volunteer community members who are motivated. We believe that our research volunteers are heroes and their commitment is vital in advancing health and preventing disease. As a nonprofit organization, The Hope Clinic relies on individual, corporate, and institutional philanthropy to continue its vital work. We hope you will consider supporting us in areas of interest to you.
