Robert Penner’s welcome message to the conference:

“With the advent of mRNA vaccines for covid, we have entered a new age of antiviral technology, and it comes not a moment too soon. In its impact on human health and society as a consequence, I believe this will be as profound for our species as was the development of antibiotics. Let us hope this quickly and resolutely is a turning point in our fight against covid and more generally against the countless other viral diseases which threaten humanity. These aspects of vaccinology are among the many timely topics across the health sciences, biomedicine, and social repercussions of covid to be presented in this SciTech Central COVID-19 Virtual Conference.”
