Members across the CEIRR Network attended the American Society for Virology (ASV) Annual Meeting 2026, held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from July 27–30, 2026. ASV meetings are among the largest virology conferences in the world, bringing together national and international scientists to discuss research spanning basic virology, vaccines, and antiviral therapeutics. The meeting’s program was developed from more than 1,000 participant-submitted abstracts and included 17 invited symposium speakers and six State-of-the-Art speakers. 

CEIRR researchers presented their work throughout the meeting in one satellite symposium, 39 workshop talks, and 43 posters. Their participation highlighted the breadth and impact of research conducted across the CEIRR Network and provided opportunities for investigators, staff, and trainees to share findings, exchange ideas, and connect with collaborators from across the virology community.

The CEIRR Influenza Data Processing and Communication Center (iDPCC) attended the ASV2026 vendor show. The iDPCC’s Center Coordinator, Holly May, Ph.D., represented the Network to share a variety of outreach materials about the CEIRR Pilot Research Program, CEIRR Reagents and the new NIAID Flu Hub Clinical Biospecimen Repository. 

The iDPCC enjoyed sharing the CEIRR Network’s accomplishments and capabilities at ASV2026 and looks forward to continuing to connect with researchers and collaborators at future conferences.
