Viruses has successfully held the conference Viruses 2018 Breakthroughs in Viral Replication , 7-9 February 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. The conference was chaired by Dr. Eric O. Freed (NIH, Editor-in-Chief of Viruses ) and Dr. Albert Bosch (University of Barcelona) and enabled participants to focus on the latest research developments in the field of viral replication. A total of 225 virologists from 33 countries around the world attended the stimulating three-day event, which consisted of six sessions and a poster exhibition of 137 posters. Dr. Pietro Scaturro was given the Best Oral Communication Award for his talk "An Orthogonal Proteomic Screen of Zika Virus Uncovers Novel Host-Dependency Factors" while Mr. Jamie Royle was given the Best Poster Award for this poster titled "Glucose Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) Interacts with Zika Virus Envelope and is Required for a Productive Infection". The 2017 Viruses Young Investigator award winner, Dr. Andrew B. Ward, was awarded the prize by Dr. Eric O. Freed after his talk "Structure, Function, and Immune Recognition of the Enigmatic HIV Envelope Glycoprotein".
