🎉 Big News: I’ve been reflecting on how we define the term ‘pathogen’ ever since several forum discussions during my graduate school days. For too long, we’ve viewed pathogens solely as disease-causing microbes- but their potential for harm extends far beyond infection. A🧵..

The last day of #GfV2025 started with a keynote by Adolfo Garcia-Sastre from New York on TRIM-mediated regulation of interferon responses during RNA virus infection. (HMB)

Keynote speaker Troels Scheel @scheellab.bsky.social from Copenhagen presented how non-canonical capping protects viral RNA from innate immune detection.

The last keynote of #GfV2025 was given by Michaela Müller-Trutwin from Paris on the adaptation of natural killer cells in persistent viral infections. (HMB)

Ebolavirus can persist for months to years in the human body, which can lead to transmission long after an outbreak. Lina Widerspick from the Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine uses brain organoids to investigate potential mechanisms.

Hundreds of #virologists queing for the dinner party of the #GfV2025 conference in #Hamburg. Thanks a lot to Thomas Dobner and his team for organizing a vibrant #conference of the #DACH society with terrific keynote speakers! 🙏 The GfV board of directors wishes all participants a safe trip home! 🤗

📢 Attending this year's @gesvirologie.bsky.social annual meeting in Hamburg? Excited about emerging viruses and zoonotic threats? Then keep your seats post the plenary session tomorrow, as we've put together a great lineup of speakers- all set to talk about diverse viruses!

Congratulations to the inaugural board of the IUIS Junior Community! We are proud of their mission to support early and mid-career immunologists globally, providing them with opportunities to grow, connect, and thrive in the field of immunology. See who's representing your region: loom.ly/ye4LqFQ !

Everything is ready for the symposium "Molecular Determinants of Zoonotic Viruses and Beyond" in Freiburg. We are looking forward to a great program and speakers, and meeting friends. @cdrosten.bsky.social@[email protected]@friedemann.bsky.social
