Viruses threaten all living organisms leading to molecular conflicts which have shaped hosts over evolutionary timescales. This meeting seeks to gather scientists from diverse disciplines including genomics, population genetics, innate immunology, virology, and beyond, to explore the evolution, diversity, molecular basis, and dynamics of these conflicts. Topics of key interest include (but are not limited to!):
How viruses have shaped host genomes, and how hosts have shaped viral genomes - How past viral epidemics have impacted our innate immune systems - Contrasting conservation and rapid evolution of defense systems across the tree of life - Exploring how arms-races contribute to diseases such as autoimmunity or cancer - How reservoir hosts cope with diverse viral infections - How past conflicts participate in current susceptibility to viral emergence.
