ANTI-VeC 3rd Annual UK meeting
Annual meeting of the Network on Application of Novel Transgenic technology & Inherited symbionts to Vector Control
Every Thursday from November 19 - December 10, 2020
Network logoBrief overview from the organizers
ANTI-VeC’s 3rd Annual UK meeting will take place this year via Zoom due to COVID-19 restrictions.
ANTI-VeC is a network for novel control strategies of vector-borne diseases, focusing on genetic modification and the use of heritable endosymbionts. The annual meeting is a great way for our members to come together to discuss progress on their research and to create collaborations.
This year’s event will be an opportunity to hear updates and the results of projects that have been awarded via the network’s pump-priming awards.
