Dear All, <br>
<br>
I would like to bring to your attention the XXIV Phage/Virus Assembly (PVA) meeting:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lbbs.epfl.ch/XXIV-PVA-conference">http://lbbs.epfl.ch/XXIV-PVA-conference</a>
<br>
which will take place in Les Diablerets, Switzerland on June 7-12, 2015. <br>
<br>
This conference is an exceptional opportunity to learn all about new discoveries in the field of phage/virus structure, morphogenesis (particle assembly and genome packaging), and molecular details of the infection process. The conference is highly multidisciplinary
with contributions from virologists, geneticists, biochemists, structural biologists and biophysicists (both, experiment and theory).
<br>
<br>
The spirit of the meeting is that most people’s requests to speak are tried to be accommodated, but all talks are very short (each slot is only 15 min long). There are no invited speakers. The program will be organized similar to the program of the previous
meeting: <br>

<br>
<br>
The <b>all-inclusive</b> registration fee is rather modest considering that the site is a 4-star resort hotel and all talks will take place in a large congress hall.
<br>
<br>
Despite the fact that the 2012 3DEM GRC took place in Les Diablerets and this year 3DEM GRC is at the end of June in the US, I hope you will consider attending this PVA meeting. Many paradigm-shifting contributions at previous PVA meetings were due to results
obtained by cryoEM, and it would be fantastic to see your outstanding work at the PVA conference this year.
<br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
<br>
Petr Leiman <br>
