Aaaaand it’s over: Virology Africa 2024, the 5th of that name in a series dating back to 2005, with two others before that. Organised because we felt like it, and because we like general virology #VirAf24 . Biggest yet; HUGELY successful - and the last in this format 😩Goodbye!

It's been an enlightening 4 days at the Virology Africa Conference 2024. #VirAf24
#VirologyAfricaConference
It's a wrap from me...
#littlemissillustrator out !

Interesting to hear that there have been some improvements on the Oxford Oxford Nanopore platform

Day 4- Virology Africa Conference #VirAf24
Highlights:
Hep C elimination is feasible!
We need to scale up animal vaccine production
Climate change has fire effects on vector borne diseases
And maybe medicinal plants could cure Covid-19 #littlemissillustration

Part of my PhD work explores bioinformatics and genomics to understand Covid-19 host viral dynamic, so it was exciting to hear Prof Tulio de Oliveira talk about it's applications in pandemic response.

Interesting talk earlier today on MPXV by Prof Jason Kindrachuk, PhD
#VirAf24

I really enjoyed her talk on molecular farming! #VirAf24

Day 3 so far at the Virology Africa Conference has been amazing: LNP technology to mPox and, I'm still marvelled at how plants are being used to make vaccines and we finished with leveraging Genomics in pandemic response
#VirAf24 #littlemissillustrator

From mosaic immunogens to working on a vaccine during the lockdown to LSDV and finally to the amazing possibilities of using the MinIon Oxford Nanopore to investigate arbovirus..
It's a wrap for Day two: Virology Africa Conference #VirAf24

Second Session Day 2: Virology Africa Conference #VirAf24
If you're here do pass by poster P23.
For this session, it's been interesting to see the possibilities in vaccine production - using plants, probiotics, phage display...

Interesting Day two at the Virology Africa conference.
Filoviruses
SARS-COV-2 and more.
And an in-depth look into zooanthroponosis by Dr Dr. Angela Rasmussen

Day One: Virology Africa Conference 2024

Thank you to WACCBIP
Prof Lydia Mosi
Dr Charles Narh, PhD

It took quite a journey to get here...
But I am excited to be at the Virology Africa Conference 2024
#VirologyAfricaConference .
And I can't wait to share updates.

Your dreams are valid! ✨

Who would’ve believed that the Pelumi nobody knew just three months ago with her small but mighty community would now be seated with dignitaries, government officials, and proudly serving as a Lagos State Tourism Ambassador?
