This 50th Workshop also gives us the opportunity to reflect on the progress of our field, to honor the contributions of those who built this community, and to chart the path forward for the next generation of herpesvirologists.
The poster and talk, "Beyond Antifungals: GS-1 (Undecylenic Acid) Rapidly Arrests VZV and HSV Spread in Human Cells and Skin," highlighted exciting findings demonstrating Solexan (GS-1)'s antiviral activity against both varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) in human cell and skin models.
We congratulate Jennifer and Megan on an outstanding presentation and thank our collaborators at SUNY Upstate Medical University for their continued scientific leadership.
Every dataset presented to the international scientific community strengthens our understanding of antiviral therapeutics and brings us one step closer to improving outcomes for people affected by shingles.
