Dear Colleagues!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the Swedish Papillomavirus
Society, it is
my pleasure to welcome you to Malmö, Sweden for the
25th International
Papillomavirus Conference.
The International Papillomavirus Conference is the leading
conference in the field, encompassing all areas of Papillomavirus
research, from clinical vaccinology to molecular biology.
The conference is preceded by a pre-conference educational workshop
that will respond to the increasing need of overview and education
on papillomaviruses that is essential for promoting effective cancer
preventive strategies. The workshop will be thematic, with the first
day designed to be of particular relevance for policymakers and
newcomers to the field, the second day targeting all professionals
involved in screening and the third day targeting all professionals
involved in HPV vaccination. Sunday 10th May will be devoted to
vaccines. All conference participants are welcome to the
preconference on vaccines in the morning and all pre-conference
participants are welcome to the vaccine research session of the
conference in the afternoon.
The main conference will have two parallel plenary sessions Monday
11th May - Thursday 14th May. All posters will be displayed
throughout the conference (Sunday-Thursday), surrounding the
exhibition area.
We look forward to an interesting and inspiring conference on the
timely subject of papillomaviruses and hope to see you in Sweden in
May 2009.
