The American Society for Virology (ASV) invites you to join us for the 46th Annual Meeting, taking place July 19-22, 2027, in Madison, Wisconsin. Hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the meeting will bring together 1,400-1,800 scientists from around the world for five days of groundbreaking science, collaboration, networking, and professional development.
ASV's Annual Meeting is among the largest and most influential virology conferences in the world. The scientific program features more than 1,000 participant-submitted abstracts, internationally recognized invited speakers, State-of-the-Art lectures, poster sessions, satellite meetings, workshops, and opportunities for discussion across every area of virology- from basic research to vaccines, antiviral therapeutics, ecology, and clinical science.
Held at the iconic Monona Terrace Convention Center in the heart of downtown Madison, attendees will enjoy an inspiring lakefront venue just steps from the Wisconsin State Capitol and a short walk from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Whether you are presenting your latest research, expanding your professional network, or attending for the first time, the ASV Annual Meeting offers an exceptional opportunity to connect with the global virology community.

| Nathan Sherer is a molecular virologist and Professor at Oncology and Molecular Virology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a faculty member in the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research and Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) and currently serves as Director of the IMV and as Director of the UW-Madison Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology (MCP) Graduate Program. He did PhD training at Yale University in Microbiology and postdoctoral training at King’s College London as an EMBO Long Term Fellow. His research combines live cell imaging with biochemical approaches to study virus-host interactions for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) that causes AIDS, hepatitis B virus (HBV) that causes liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, and high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that cause epithelial cancers. |

Kristen Bernard is a professor emerit, who studied viral pathogenesis of zoonotic viruses. Her favorite viruses are mosquito-borne viruses. Her first ASV conference was at Colorado State University as a graduate student in 1991 when she fell in love with ASV and has been a member ever since. She has served as ASV President, Veterinary Virology Councilor, and on various ASV committees, including co-host of three conferences at UW-Madison. She is excited about helping to host again in 2027!

Paul Friesen, Ph.D., is a molecular virologist whose research focuses on the invertebrate baculoviruses and their mechanisms of gene regulation and evasion of host defenses, including the DNA damage response and apoptosis. His UW-Madison laboratory residues within the Institute for Molecular Virology, wherein he served as Director for 12 years. As an experienced ASVer, he has served two terms on the ASV Council as Invertebrate Virology Councilor and has chaired the Membership Committee. He has hosted six ASV annual meetings in Madison, serving as chair or co-chair of the local host committee for four of them. Among colleagues and ASV attendees, he is perhaps best recognized for the acclaimed selections of beer and other memorable amenities featured at Madison-hosted meetings.
