31st HCV-Flavi 2025
Description
The annual International Symposium on Hepatitis C Virus, Flaviviruses and Related Viruses is recognised internationally as the premier meeting for researchers working in the HCV and related flavivirus fields. Rotating through meeting venues in Europe, North America and Asia/Australia since 1994, the meeting has played a key role in both promoting excellence in research, driving discoveries in virus replication, pathogenesis and genetics, and providing the knowledge base for the spectacular advances in antiviral and vaccine development.
While HCV was originally the main focus of the symposium, its scope has recently been extended to other flaviviruses such as dengue, yellow fever, West Nile and Zika viruses, pestiviruses, pegiviruses and related viruses. Their incorporation into the meeting programme reflects the huge scientific, public health and vaccine development effort in the wider virus family, and the valuable context and knowledge this brings to the HCV field – and conversely, the extraordinary virological and therapeutic progress on HCV that may cross-fertilise flavivirus research.
This event will bring together leading experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to discuss the latest advancements and research in the field of hepatitis C virus, flaviviruses, pestiviruses and related viruses. The program will deliver internationally renowned keynotes and plenary speakers, oral presentations selected from abstracts, rapid fire talks, and poster sessions.
