virology meeting
Virology Conferences 2010
Details of conferences on virology from our comprehensive list at Microbiology Conferences 2010
January 12 - 17, 2010 HIV Biology and Pathogenesis
Santa Fe, NM, USA Further information
The Keystone Symposia Meeting on HIV Biology and Pathogenesis emphasizes key aspects of HIV research including molecular biology. The focus will be to highlight recent advances in our understanding of HIV/AIDS ranging from the earliest events of transmission, to treatments for infected individuals, to interventions to prevent viral transmission. The goal of the meeting is to emphasize the basic mechanisms of viral replication and the interplay of the virus with the immune system leading to the development of AIDS.

February 16 - 21, 2010 Cell Biology of Virus Entry, Replication and Pathogenesis
Taos, NM, Canada Further information
The Keystone Symposia meeting on the Cell Biology of Virus Entry, Replication and Pathogenesis emphasizes key aspects of virus infection pathways and cellular responses. A central goal is the identification of critical virus-cell crosstalk during these processes. Rather than dividing viruses into separate “categories” such as positive-sense RNA viruses and DNA viruses, the meeting highlights common aspects of virus lifecycles among different virus groups. The multi-disciplinary nature of the proposed meeting is important in bringing together investigators using structural, molecular, cell biological, immunological and epidemiological methods. This emphasis on shared themes and multiple experimental approaches will continue to be critical to future advances in virology. While there has been spectacular recent progress in our understanding of virus lifecycles, we are still very far from being able to design antiviral strategies, and unexpected novel aspects of virus cell biology are constantly being discovered. Plenary sessions will cover the most important aspects of virus interactions with cells. Day 1 will include cutting-edge structural virology studies and imaging methods to follow single virus particles during entry. Day 2 will focus on the entry mechanisms of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and the roles of cellular proteins in virus infection. Day 3 will cover viral and cellular aspects of virus replication and cellular antiviral responses. The last day will focus on the important areas of virus assembly and pathogenesis. Late-breaking exciting developments in this fast-moving field will be incorporated by short presentations and afternoon workshop sessions drawn from the submitted abstracts.

February 23 - 26, 2010 Virus-host: partners in pathogenicity

Suggested reading: Virology Books
February 26 - 26, 2010 The Bacteriophage in Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine
Welwyn Garden City, UK Further information
This meeting is the third in a successful biennial series discussing the biological nature of bacteriophages, and their exploitation in basic microbiology (for genetics and functional genomics); diagnostics, ecology and evolution, phage display, vaccines, and in therapeutics in animal and human infections. The general structure of the meeting is to have short, expert presentations on this spectrum of topics, plus short Q and A sessions and offered posters. The meeting will be of interest to anyone who is currently using phages in their research work or who might be interested in the potential application of phages for basic biology, and applied topics such as bacterial diagnostics, vaccine development and phage therapy

March 21 - 26, 2010 HIV Vaccines
Banff, Canada Further information
Since a HIV vaccine is proving to be a particularly recalcitrant problem, a novel approach that facilitates a wider cross-fertilization of ideas would be very valuable and would be welcomed by the broader HIV vaccine research community. To that end, the major development proposed for the 2010 Keystone HIV Vaccine Symposium is to foster innovative ideas and new collaborations with immunology and vaccinology as it pertains to other viral diseases. Specifically, we propose that a new Joint Symposium of HIV Vaccines in conjunction with Viral Immunity be convened. This Joint Symposium would retain the valuable format that includes joint and separate sessions covering general and specific principles.

March 21 - 26, 2010 Viral Immunity
Banff, Canada Further information
The most exciting recent advances in viral immunity include the increased understanding of the role of innate immune mechanisms, interaction between innate and adaptive immunity, pathogen manipulation of host responses, and activation of immune responses and generation of immune memory. Despite these advances, basic mechanisms of anti-viral immunity are poorly characterized particularly for chronic infections. Efforts are also required to exploit recent research advances to improve vaccine design and therapeutic intervention. This meeting will include both innate and adaptive immunity and juxtapose animal models with human studies as it attempts to foster collaborative efforts between attending viral immunologists and the HIV vaccine researchers in the joint meeting. Expert talks in plenary sessions will encompass the latest in critical areas of viral immunity. Workshops and additional presentations will cover provocative and cutting-edge results from attendees. The meeting objective is to accelerate progress in understanding and manipulating anti-viral immunity to improve human health.
