Bridging the Sciences

Outstanding French and American researchers and key opinion leaders gather for a high-level, one-day scientific symposium on human viral infections. Interactive sessions will present basic and clinical research focusing on advances in virology, therapeutic drug development and practical considerations for management of clinically relevant viruses including HIV, hepatitis B and C (HBV, HCV), and other emerging viruses (such as Zika, Ebola, dengue, and chikungunya). Participants will be updated on key features of these human viral infections, their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and virology, as well as on emerging preventive and therapeutic strategies. Christian Bréchot, former president of the Institut Pasteur, will be in attendance for this important symposium.
