We have heard many saying the GfV meetings always feel a bit like family reunions– apart from exciting science, meeting old friends and colleagues has always been a central point of our annual meetings.

It was so great to meet that many fellow Bartenschlager alumni at the #gfv2026 🤗 Some of us are still around in Heidelberg, but others head their own labs far away in Italy or even Canada!
Hope to see all of you (and all the others) soon again, so many memories...

Different virus, similar success story: HIV, and it’s treatment and the revolutionary development of Lenacapavir- a compound for treatment of difficult to treat cases, and even capable of long-term (1 yr!) prevention of HIV infection.
Great keynote by Stephen Yant 🤩

Johannes Krause @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social ‘s revolutionary work on paleogenomics also holds exciting surprises on viruses. ~4% of ancient human individuals his team has sequenced were positive for Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Virus‘ evolution closely relates to major events in human culture!
