Abstract
The 2026 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Denver, Colorado, showcased major advances in our understanding of HIV replication, viral persistence, host-virus interactions, and innate immune sensing. Basic science presentations emphasized the remarkable complexity of the HIV replication cycle and highlighted how structural virology, systems biology, and genome-wide screening approaches are transforming the field. A consistent highlight of the conference is the Scott M. Hammer workshop for new investigators and trainees in which scientific experts help orient trainees to thematic areas being covered in the conference. This underscores the conference's dedication to the mentoring and training of early career investigators new to the field of HIV/AIDS research.
在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的2026年逆转录病毒和机会性感染会议展示了我们对HIV复制、病毒持久性、宿主-病毒相互作用和先天免疫感知的理解取得的重大进展。基础科学报告强调了HIV复制周期的显著复杂性,并强调了结构病毒学、系统生物学和全基因组筛选方法如何改变该领域。会议的一贯亮点是Scott M. Hammer为新研究人员和学员举办的研讨会,科学专家帮助学员了解会议所涉及的主题领域。这强调了会议致力于指导和培训新进入艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究领域的早期职业研究者。
