HIV and (Re)Emerging Viruses: Aligning Lessons Across Pandemics (Keystone Symposia)

This conference brings together researchers studying HIV, and emerging and re-emerging viruses of global concern to advance knowledge on pathogenesis, evolution, prevention, treatment, and long-term sequelae. The goal is to gain a better understanding of molecular mechanisms and apply lessons learned from one outbreak to another with a focus on deploying recent technological advances such as NGS, gene editing, antibody, and mRNA therapeutics to tackle emerging infections. The program will cover infections ranging from HIV to SARS-CoV-2, monkeypox, influenza, hemorrhagic fevers, and others, featuring experts from around the globe. The influence of an underlying HIV condition on other viral infections on the trajectory of other diseases will also be discussed. We anticipate identifying unique and common aspects of viral disease mechanisms, as well as potential interventions. The conference will also feature interactive poster sessions, selected abstracts for oral presentations, and networking opportunities.
