Virtual jGfV virology lecture on “How to eradicate a virus”

How to eradicate a virus – about mucosal vaccines and poliovirus eradication

We are happy to announce the first outcome of the  collaboration between the Swedish NDP-VIP Research School and the German Young Society of Virology. NDP-VIP members are invited to attend their virtual jGfV virology leture series!

The next jGfV lecture is on the topic of how to eradicate a virus. Herein, Dr. Sindy Böttcher will give an update on poliovirus eradication, since recent detection of circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses type 2 (cVDPV2) in wastewater samples from different European countries has attracted a lot of attention. Prof. Klaus Überla will present mucosal vaccination strategies to elicit sterilizing immunity which is an important concept to effectively reduce virus circulation in a vaccinated population.

We encourage all members to take advantage of this unique opportunity to enhance their understanding and engage with cutting-edge research.

When? On 13th May 2025 5:00 – 6:30 pm
