Webinar content:

By the 21st century, the level of globalization of humankind had reached a scale that completely reshaped the landscape of outbreaks. At the same time, many similarities can be discovered with the epidemics experienced during our history. Along with these thoughts, Dr. Kemenesi will review the current situation and what awaits us in the near future in terms of epidemics. He will present the role of a virology laboratory during a pandemic situation and briefly present the main research topics in their lab in Pécs. Dr. Kemenesi and his colleagues are proud mentors for a Stipendium Hungaricum awardee, and the webinar will also include her story and her current role as a key player in the Hungarian virology research community.
