Emory University professor and Asa Griggs scholar, Dr. Robinson co-founded GeoVax Labs, Inc. and is one of the world's leading HIV/AIDS vaccine scientists.

Recognized by the AAAS section on medical sciences, Dr. Robinson was elected for her outstanding work on retrovirus biology and the development of DNA vaccines with special emphasis on HIV/AIDS vaccines. In addition to her role as GeoVax's Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr. Robinson is chair of the Division of Microbiology and Immunology at Yerkes National Primate Research Center, a professor of microbiology and immunology in Emory University School of Medicine and an investigator in the Emory Vaccine Center.
