May 27, 2016: 6th Annual Bay Area Symposium on Viruses

The Bay Area Virus Network (BayViro.org) represents a constellation of scientists, engineers, and clinician researchers in the San Francisco Bay Area who are working to understand, prevent, and control human and animal viral infections. It is a platform for connecting investigators at universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and research institutes throughout the region.

We encourage participants to take public transit because parking is limited in Berkeley. The Li Ka Shing Center is a short walk (about 10 minutes) from Berkeley Downtown BART station.

The 6th Annual Bay Area Symposium on Viruses aims to strengthen interactions among Bay Area scientists who share a strong interest in virology. This one-day conference will feature presentations by leading Bay Area scientists, as well as a session of postdoc/grad student talks, roundtable discussions, a poster session, and opportunities for networking.

Each year the BayViro organizing committee selects several short talks (10 minutes) from submitted abstracts. In order to be considered for a speaking position, please submit your abstract via the registration system no later than May 9th, 2016. Register & Submit Abstract on Eventbrite or submit to cend@berkeley.edu.

We will also have a poster session. All attendees are encouraged to submit a poster for presentation. Please submit a poster title and short description with your registration. Register & Submit Poster Title on Eventbrite or submit to cend@berkeley.edu.
