Frontiers of Retrovirology

BioMed Central in conjunction with the journal Retrovirology, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2013, will host the third biennial Frontiers of Retrovirology conference, 16-18 September 2013 at Churchill College, Cambridge, UK.

Following the success of the first two Frontiers of Retrovirology conferences in 2009 and 2011, this third meeting, held in the historic university city of Cambridge, will bring together leading researchers in human and animal retroviruses to review current progress and to chart future challenges.

At Frontiers of Retrovirology 2013, internationally renowned speakers will present their insights into the principles guiding the life cycle of endogenous retroelements, complex human retroviruses, and their pathogenic interactions with their hosts, forming part of a highly topical and diverse scientific program. In commemoration, we are proud to announce the inaugural Kuan-Teh Jeang Memorial Lecture to be given by Stephen Goff of Columbia University.

All participants are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Submitted abstracts will be published as a supplement in Retrovirology (Impact Factor 6.47) and indexed in PubMed and by ISI Web of Science.
