Heidelberg Virology Seminar
Tuesdays at 5.15 p.m. in the lecture hall of the Center for Integrative Infectious Disease Research (CIID) at INF 344, SR 003/004.
We are sorry that following the current strategy of social distancing seminars at the CIID will not take place until further notice. We hope that you are all healthy and we hope to see you again soon!
For informations regarding the situation in our area, you may check out the Corona Podcast with Hans-Georg Kräusslich (German language only).
Cellular Microbiology Symposium
We are sorry to inform you that the "Cellular Microbiology" meeting that had been planned for April 29 has also been cancelled. The organizers are aiming for an alternative date in the fall. Information will be provided when available.
