Molecular Interplays of FMDV with the type I IFN Response: Importance of the Model and potential links with viral persistence with Dr. Sandra Blaise-Boisseau
December 11, 2024
9:00 am ET
Agenda
9:00-9:05 Welcome
9:05-9:30 Presentation
9:30-10:00 Q&A Discussion
Since 2009, Dr Sandra Blaise-Boisseau, Researcher in Virology, has worked on FMD, in the Virology Joined research Unit (JRU) of the ANSES laboratory for animal health (Maisons-Alfort, France); in the team “BIOPIC” in charge of the mandates of National Reference Laboratory for FMD/SVD/VSD, WOAH reference laboratory, FAO collaborating center and EU reference laboratory for FMD. Deputy head of the team, she is leading research projects mainly focused on host/FMDV interactions studies with the aim to elucidate mechanisms of FMDV persistence in ruminants. Overall, her research aims to contribute to better understanding and control of FMD in livestock.

About GFRA
VISION
A coordinated global alliance of scientists producing evidence and innovation that enables the progressive control and eradication of FMD.
MISSION
To establish and sustain global research partnerships to generate scientific knowledge and discover the tools to successfully prevent, control and eradicate FMD.
PROGRAMS
GFRA aims to expand FMD research collaborations worldwide and maximize the use of resources and expertise to achieve its five strategic goals (see below).
Several research programs are currently active in Europe, North America, South America and South-East Asia. GFRA programs will continue to expand the alliance in these areas and will actively reach out to new areas of the world that have a stake in the progressive control and eradication of FMD.
- Goal 1. Facilitate research collaborations and serve as a communication gateway for the global FMD research community
- Goal 2. Conduct strategic research to better understand FMD
- Goal 3. Development of the next generation of control measures and strategies for their application
- Goal 4. Determine social and economic impacts of the new generation of improved FMD control
- Goal 5. Provide evidence to inform development of policies for safe trade of animals and animal products in FMD-endemic areas
