2018 RIVR meeting4/1/2018 It’s that time of year again when many of the new PIs from the UK virology research community meet to discuss their exciting research. It’s also a great opportunity for everyone to discuss the trials and tribulations of starting a new lab, and to bounce ideas off one another in a very supporting atmosphere. Both years I’ve attended I have come away with lot of inspiration, potential new collaborations and great new ideas to test . As usual, the talk from our ‘experienced’ virologist (this year from Prof Mark Harris, University of Leeds), was very enlightening. I think Mark even surprised himself when he realised he’s been a virologist for 35 years!
This was Dalan Bailey (Pirbright Institute) and Jamel Mankouri’s (University of Leeds) last time to organise the meeting, as tradition dictates that after two years, the reigns are handed over. Both years they were at the helm ran perfectly, and a huge thanks is owed to them. Now, it’s good luck to Keving Maringer (University of Surrey) and Juan Fontana (University of Leeds) for the next two RIVR meetings. If you would like to get involved, get in touch. UK virology is certainly in safe hands!
