Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the conference Viruses 2022—At the Leading Edge of Virology Research, to be held virtually 5-8 April 2022 at 13:30-19:00h CEST/07:30-13:00h EDT.
As we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the central importance of virology to all aspects of the human enterprise has never been clearer. The pandemic starkly illustrates the impact that viruses can have on human health and activity, as well as underscoring how advances in virus research can rapidly mitigate the most severe outcomes. While the COVID-19 pandemic has been on everyone’s mind, we should not lose sight of the significance of other viral infections or overlook the utility of viruses or viral components that can be harnessed to serve useful and important functions; nor should we ignore the power of viral systems in studies across a wide range of biomedical disciplines, including molecular and cell biology, immunology, chemical biology, evolutionary biology, and structural biology.
This conference is sponsored by MDPI, the publisher of the open-access journal Viruses, and follows the very successful meetings Viruses 2016—At the Forefront of Virus-Host Interactions (January 2016; Basel, Switzerland), Viruses 2018—Breakthroughs in Viral Replication (February 2018; Barcelona, Spain), and Viruses 2020—Novel Concepts in Virology (February 2020; Barcelona, Spain). Like these previous conferences, Viruses 2022 will cover a wide range of topics of interest to participants. In addition to invited talks from world-renowned virologists, the conference will feature oral presentations and posters selected from submitted abstracts. The event will be recorded and will then be made accessible to conference participants on our Sciforum platform
I, and the Viruses 2022 Scientific Committee (Drs. Shan-Lu Liu, Mark Young, Britt Glaunsinger, Kathy Spindler, Veronique Ziegler-Graff), look forward to your participation in this exciting conference.

We are pleased to announce that the two Viruses 2022 Best Oral Presentation Awards, sponsored by MDPI's journal Biomedicines, have been granted to:
Marc Tallo-Parra*, Gemma Perez-Vilaro, Xavier Hernandez-Alias, René Böttcher, Luis Serrano, Juana Díez - CHIKV uses two different tRNA-related strategies to favor viral protein expression
Alfonso Gomez Gonzalez*, Michael Bauer, Maarit Suomalainen, Nicolas Schilling, Silvio Hemmi, Urs Greber - A viral ubiquitination switch attenuates innate immunity and triggers nuclear import of virion DNA and infection
The two Viruses 2022 Best Poster Awards, sponsored by MDPI's journal Microorganisms, have been granted to:
Frederique Laprise*, Qinghua Pan, Ariana Arduini, Zhen Wang, Catherine Bourassa, Jonathan Richard, Andres Finzi, Chen Liang - SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF8 downregulates the polymeric Ig receptor
Erik Schubert, Kwang-chol Mun, Styliani Panagiotou, Olof Idevall, Tanel Punga* - Human adenovirus type 5 infection alters mitochondrial DNA and membrane dynamics
Congratulations to the awardees!
The list of names, sciforum-ID, titles, as well as the session in which the posters will be presented, can be found here. Please contact us if the poster presenter's name is incorrect in the list.
The Poster Sessions will take place in Zoom break-out rooms. The rooms will be called after the poster presenter's surname. Presenters will automatically be assigned to their break-out rooms. If for some reason you are not automatically assigned, you would have to join your break-out room by yourself.
Poster presenters will be responsible for their own room, i.e. sharing their posters in their screen, handling the comments in the chat if any, etc. Conference participants will then be able to visit the different rooms and discuss the posters with the presenters. Please make sure you have the Zoom Desktop client or mobile app, version 5.3.0 or higher.
Your poster will also be available online during the dates of the event. Please send us your poster to viruses2022@mdpi.com before 31 March 2022. Please name your poster "PSI or PSII_Surname_sciforum-XXXXXX". Further information on the posters and poster sessions can be found by clicking here.
