Olivia Wallace (C) and Marina Kemelman (R), both Research Associates at the AIDS Vaccine Design and Development Laboratory, laugh with a collegue in the lab at the laboratory's campus in the former Brooklyn Army Terminal December 1, 2008 in New York City. The laboratory, seeking a vaccine to prevent the spread of AIDS, is part of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (or IAVI), a global not-for-profit, public-private partnership working to accelerate the development of a vaccine to prevent HIV infection and AIDS. December 1 is the 20th annual World AIDS Day around the world.
