Bill Gates was supposed to deliver the Barnes Lecture and tour the NIH
yesterday, but it was cancelled because of USG shutdown. Francis Collins, Harold
Varmus and I went to the Gates office in DC at 1300 I Street, N.W. to meet with him at
9:00 AM. Francis, Harold and I met at Starbuck’s at 1225 – I Street, N.W. at 8:20 AM
to plan strategy. Visit with Bill went very well. I have met previously with Bill several
times including at his home in Seattle. The conversation today focused mostly on
collaborations that I and NIAID have with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
(BMGF) including the P5 vaccine trials, the HIV antibody – immunogen studies, the
Sanaria malaria project, etc. Excellent discussions and we will expand NIH - BMGF
collaborations.
