But in recent years, the center has suffered a series of setbacks, including a scientific paper that required a partial retraction, and the departure of key scientists. These challenges have some in the field wondering whether ADARC - and its golden-boy director - are on the verge of the next big breakthrough in AIDS or are wandering down yet another detour in the long and maddening fight against the disease...
