Education & Training

Educating and training the next generation of virologists is a foundational cornerstone of the GVN’s mission. There is a global shortage of experts in basic, clinical, and translational research, especially in low- and middle-income countries. To help close this gap, GVN senior virologists provide mentorship and intensive training for early-career scientists. Thanks to the generosity of Drs. Yang Liu and Pan Zheng, the GVN Academy supports five dedicated training and mentorship programs. To date, more than 150 alumni have become GVN-certified through these initiatives, building a strong pipeline of future leaders in virology.
