David Ho was born in a small town in Taiwan. When they moved to America, Ho and his family settled in a largely black neighborhood in central Los Angeles, near the University of Southern California. He and his wife currently live in Chappaqua, New York and have three children.
He chose to pursue engineering studies in the United States. He decided that molecular biology was his favorite field and studied it. He dedicated himself to combating AIDS. He made a very important discovery in the process. Dr. Ho's research proved that the virus actually multiplies in vast numbers from the very beginning, even though most other scientists thought otherwise.
David's work with AIDS moved TIME magazine to name him its "Man of the Year" in 1996. Dr. Ho is now Scientific Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City, as well as Irene Diamond Professor of Medicine at Rockefeller University.
