The HERN meeting will provide an excellent platform to present the latest research findings and exchange knowledge about human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), which is still a neglected pathogen despite causing severe, life-threatening diseases such as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and inflammatory conditions.

We look forward to an exciting conference filled with inspiring presentations and engaging discussions. In addition to the scientific presentations, we have planned a Conference Dinner with networking opportunities and a visit to a traditional franconian beer garden.

We thank Klaus Überla, director of the Institute of Virology, the DFG and the research training grant GRK2504, Infect-Net and the BMBF for supporting HERN2025.

We cordially invite you to join us in Erlangen in July 2025 to share your newest insights and to shape the future of HTLV research.

Best Regards
