Why do we still need new COVID vaccines? #science #ASV2026videoabstractYouTube video by Christine Langneryoutube.com

David Knipe wraps things up with sensing viral AND host DNA in infected cells — a new route to cGAS activation. The cell can’t always tell whose DNA it’s holding. #asv2026

Anne Simon (Maryland) on stabilizing inserts in virus-induced gene silencing vectors — plant virology tools built to hold together. 🌱 #asv2026

Matthew Evans: “A Tale of Two Constraints” — Zika’s innate immune antagonism vs. host resistance, each one limiting the other. An arms race where nobody gets to go delirious. #asv2026

Kay Choi on unlocking the structural code of viral RNAs. Every fold is a sentence and every sentence changes the outcome — Alphabet St., written in ribonucleotides. #asv2026

Xiang-Jin Meng on why hepatitis E virus infection is so dangerous in pregnancy, and the mechanisms behind it. Some of the highest stakes in all of virology. #asv2026

Stay for the ASV Business Meeting to hear about the inner workings of ASV!

Wrapping things up for this session is the Presidents’ Panel at #asv2026: “The Future of Virology — Global Challenges, Shared Solutions.” Betânia Paiva Drumond (Brazil), Richard Kuhn (WSV), Jason Mackenzie (Australasian), Shan-Lu Liu (ASV) & Zhenghong Yuan (CSM). Andy Pekosz moderating.

David Veesler presents on how TMPRSS2 activates the coronavirus spike — and how to stop it. The protease holds the key; without it, the spike isn’t going anywhere. #asv2026

Sue VandeWoude on wild cats as sentinel predators for viral spillover and adaptation. Viruses are cool, but cats rule. #asv2026

Paul Bieniasz on viral evolution — gaining functions, and gaining insight. A little "controversy" in the title, a lot of great virology. #asv2026
