Beatriz Navarro is a senior researcher at the Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection of the Italian National Research Council (Bari, Italy). Her research focuses on the study of the molecular interactions between viroids/virus and their host plants.
Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hungary
Éva Várallyay, a biology and chemistry teacher graduate, has been affiliated with the Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute (now the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences) since 1990. After completing her PhD in biochemistry, she delved into virology and later into plant development biology, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of RNAi during virus infection.
Pasteur Institute of Paris, France
David Prangishvili, an Honorary Professor at the Pasteur Institute of Paris, is a leading authority on viruses infecting Archaea. His discovery and description of numerous new species and families of DNA viruses have significantly impacted the field of prokaryotic virology. His research highlights the distinctiveness of Archaeal viruses and their evolutionary significance, contributing to our understanding of virus-host relationships and the broader biosphere
