Thematic meeting: New antiviral strategies: From Bench to Bedside

 

The COVID-19 epidemic of recent years has taught us that a multidisciplinary approach to scientific research is essential for the development of new therapies. The « New antiviral strategies : from bench to bedside» Thematic meeting is at the frontiers of developing new health technologies for the benefit of patients. It will be an opportunity for international experts from two different disciplines, chemistry and biology, to exchange. Also young researchers (PhD students, post-docs..) will be able to present their research work and expand their networks.
