About the Conference

The 22nd International Workshop on Kaposi’s Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) and Related Agents is the 25th Anniversary of the virus’s discovery. KSHV 2019 New York City will bring together researchers and clinicians working on the oncogenic human herpesvirus, Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV), and other closely related pathogens.

Tremendous progress has been made in the field, but this virus infection still poses a significant cancer burden to at-risk populations worldwide. The Kaposi’s sarcoma field is an active and complex multi-disciplinary intersection of cancer biology and the pathogenesis of chronic herpesvirus infection with translational medicine involving rapid diagnostics and drug discovery.

Registration still possible!
