Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
As a collaborator and researcher, I have always had a wonderful experience working with YRG. The team is dedicated to the health and well-being of the community. The research staff is exceedingly skilled. From virology to ethnography, their work is always of the highest quality, and no project has ever been too daunting for them to complete successfully. YRG has truly improved the health of India. I am always eager to work with this phenomenal team.
Maria L Ekstrand
Professor Emeritus
It was my absolute pleasure collaborating with YRG on the NIAAA-funded "Samudram" grant as well as on the NIMH funded "Prerana" study. I could not have asked for more conscientious collaborators and team members. Their ability to balance rigorous science and quality control while simultaneously making every team member feel appreciated, motivated to learn new skills and enjoying their work was truly impressive.
Jayanta Bhattacharya
Dean, BRIC-Translational Health Science & Technology Institute
I have a long-standing collaboration with YRG in the area of HIV/AIDS for over a decade. The richness and depth of clinical, epidemiological, laboratory research being carried out by the outstanding team of researchers at YRG are world class and focused on improving public health in resource limited settings.
Tim Bethune
Chief Program Officer, Serious Fun Children’s Network
YRG is so much more than a partner. They have inspired our organization to think differently, push boundaries, and to meet the needs of children and families with greater depth and creativity. Their team brings a rare blend of compassion, precision, and vision to everything they do. They understand that treating illness goes beyond medicine. It is also about dignity, belonging, resilience, and hope. Their wide range of programs and services only deepens their impact, showing how innovation and community care go hand in hand.

This has been my second visit to YRG, an institution that I find to be shaping India’s response to HIV/AIDS in a most comprehensive and commendable manner. I urge each and every person to contribute in whatever way possible, as a collective response to one of the greatest health challenges of our time.
Ken Mayer
TFI Co‑Chair and Medical Research Director
In the 1990s, while leading a US National Institutes of Health program to build AIDS research capacity in Asia, I was urged to meet a remarkable team from Chennai that provided frontline HIV care and aspired to community-based research. After meeting Dr. Suniti Solomon and her dedicated team, it was clear they had the vision and drive to succeed. More than two decades later, they have built an internationally recognized program that leads community-centered HIV care and research in Chennai and across India.

This has been my second visit to YRG, an institution that I find to be shaping India’s response to HIV/AIDS in a most comprehensive and commendable manner. I urge each and every person to contribute in whatever way possible, as a collective response to one of the greatest health challenges of our time.

In the 1990s, while leading a US National Institutes of Health program to build AIDS research capacity in Asia, I was urged to meet a remarkable team from Chennai that provided frontline HIV care and aspired to community-based research. After meeting Dr. Suniti Solomon and her dedicated team, it was clear they had the vision and drive to succeed. More than two decades later, they have built an internationally recognized program that leads community-centered HIV care and research in Chennai and across India.
