Workshop goals

The aims of the workshop are: 1) To give a critical overview of  the strengths and weakness of different viral systems used in experimental and therapeutic contexts; 2) To introduce new developments in virus-based technologies and their application to investigation of nervous system function; 3) To showcase innovative work that uses viral transduction of neurons to address questions that would not be tractable with other approaches. Invited speakers include virologists actively developing new vectors as well as neuroscientists using with viruses as tools in their research.

No posters or talks a requested, but if you wish to be selected for a short talk, you are welcome to leave an abstract during the registration.

Speakers

Angel Barco (Alicante), Isabelle Barde (Lausanne), Markus U. Ehrengruber (Zurich), Nigel W Fraser (U. Penn), Andreas Frick (Bordeaux), Michael H äusser (London), Jean Michel Heard (Pasteur Institute), Helene Marie (Rome), Nicholas D. Mazarakis (London), Sara Salinas (Montpellier), Oliver Schluter (Göttingen), Melanie White (Edinburgh).
