At the forefront of retrovirology research: Frontiers of Retrovirology

The call for submissions at the first Frontiers of Retrovirology Conference was inclusive; all fields of retrovirology research were welcome and, as of such, participants presented on a wide range of topics; from endo-retroviruses through to HIV vaccines. With this broad palette, an enjoyable, concise exchange of thoughts and perspectives between different, though connected, fields of research was achieved. In this article, the range of topics addressed at this first meeting are discussed and we consider some of the major issues presented.
