Viruses represent a source of wonder as the miniaturized entities that permeate and cross-interact with the entire biosphere and are by far the most numerous organisms on earth. The workshop aims to offer an overview of the field by gathering international and national speakers with some of the most recent and exciting developments in structural virology.
