UK Virome Forum

The UK Virome Forum is a group aimed at bringing together researchers from across the UK using genomic approaches to study viromes, with a particular focus on whole-virome analyses, viral ecology, and evolution beyond single-pathogen systems. Reflecting the diversity of viruses, sample types, and analytical approaches in the field, we're interested in all aspects of viromics, from developing best practice in field, laboratory and sampling techniques to building fundamental ecological models of viral communities. Led by early-career researchers, the forum aims to foster connections among virome researchers in academia, industry, and government by encouraging discussion, collaboration, and exchange of ideas.
