SERVC History

2024 will be the 17th meeting of the Southeastern Regional Virology Conference. The first SERVC was in 1990 and meets every two years at Emory University. We appreciate the tireless work of Margo Brinton (Georgia State) who led this meeting for many years. We look forward to continued success of this meeting for many years to come!
