Monthly meetings

Monthly meetings are held at noon on the dates listed below in 001 MSRB1 (unless otherwise noted), Zoom also available. At each Works-in-Progress meeting, two Center for Virology investigators, their lab members or other Duke or Triangle-area researchers working in virology-related areas give informal 30-minute presentations about their current research. We are also experimenting with other meeting formats.

Interested in presenting? Use our interest form and/or reach out to heather.froggatt@duke.edu, cynthia.wicker@duke.edu, and micah.luftig@duke.edu.
