The 7th Workshop on Virus Dynamics in Bordeaux (France) will continue the meeting series previously started in Frankfurt (2013), Toronto (2015), Heidelberg (2017), Paris (2019), Seattle-Online (2021) and Nagoya (2023).
This workshop brings together virologists and immunologists with mathematical modelers and system biologists to discuss current approaches and challenges in modeling and analyzing different aspects of virus dynamics. A specific focus will be made this year on vaccine development and immunology.
