NIH Virology Scientific Interest Group
About
The NIH Virology Scientific Interest Group (VIG) comprises researchers at NIH and in the local area who are interested in virology. The group organizes activities designed to promote interactions and exchange of information.
The Interest Group has a Seminar Series (see SEMINARS) that meets from 3:00 - 4:00 pm on the first Thursday of each month via Zoom. This is organized by Drs. Eric Freed (NCI) and Joseph Ziegelbauer (NCI). Potential speakers should contact Drs. Freed and Ziegelbauer.
The NIH Virology Scientific Interest Group sponsors the Norman P. Salzman Memorial Awards and Symposium each year in the fall. The Symposium is held in conjunction with the presentation of the Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Awards. These awards have been established to recognize outstanding research in the field of basic and/or clinical virology at the NIH, FDA, Fort Detrick Laboratories, LEIDOS, USDA, or USUHS (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences). These awards honor the 40-year career of Dr. Norman P. Salzman in virology research and his accomplishments in mentoring young scientists. The awards will be presented at the 26th Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Symposium in Basic and Clinical Virology, being held virtually and in person on December 5, 2024 at Lipsett Auditorium in the Clinical Center.
Messages can be posted to members of the Virology Interest group through the NIH listserv, NIHVIG-L@LIST.NIH.GOV.
The organizers of the Virology Interest Group are Drs. Eric Freed (NCI), and Joseph Ziegelbauer (NCI).
Salzman Symposium
26th Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Symposium in Basic and Clinical Virology
The Salzman Organizing Committee, the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, and the NIH Virology Interest Group announce the 26th Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Awards in Basic and Clinical Virology for young investigators. These awards have been established to recognize outstanding research in the field of basic and/or clinical virology at the NIH, FDA, Fort Detrick Laboratories, LEIDOS, USDA or USUHS (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences). These awards honor the 40-year career of Dr. Norman P. Salzman in virology research and his accomplishments in mentoring of young scientists.
The symposium will take place at the Lipsett Amphitheater in the NIH Clinical Center on Thursday, December 5, 2024 from 9 AM – 3:30 PM ET.
