Academic Programs

In addition to material and technical support, the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research offers a rich intellectual environment for early stage investigators and students. CVVR hosts weekly meetings for its postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to discuss ongoing work, as well as bi-monthly journal club lunches and weekly CVVR seminars with invited speakers. All postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty are regularly encouraged to submit abstracts and to attend conferences and other professional meetings.

Young Investigator Committee

Latest Past Events

The Young Investigator Committee (YIC) at CVVR was established as a platform for emerging and early career investigators to address issues relevant to career and professional development.

The Committee bonds junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and research staff through monthly meetings, often with established experts from academia or industry via candid conversations.

The YIC seeks to provide ample opportunities for discussing challenges in research, career development, academic promotions as well as creating opportunities for networking and collaborations without borders.

The Committee works closely with the CVVR director to ensure there are resources available to help young investigators work towards their career goals. The Committee is also deeply committed to advocate for issues impacting young investigators at CVVR.

Young Investigator Committee members:

Dr. Sizun Jiang (sjiang3@bidmc.harvard.edu)

Dr. Malika Boudries (maid@bidmc.harvard.edu)

Dr. Daniel Ram (dram@bidmc.harvard.edu)
