As I delved deeper into the study of pathogens, my attention was increasingly drawn to the captivating and intricate world of virology. The astounding biology of viruses and their profound impact on human life left an indelible impression on me. So I committed myself to earning a PhD in Immunology, which was driven by a passion to better understand these complex agents and to develop innovative strategies to prevent and combat infectious diseases on a global scale. During my post-doctoral journey, I had the privilege of meeting Professor Erica Ollmann Saphire, a world-renowned virologist and President/CEO of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology. Her enthusiasm for the Global Virus Network was inspiring and piqued my interest in joining. I am honored to be a part of this amazing and powerful community."</span></em></p> <p><strong>Annie Elong Ngono, PhD</strong><br /> Research Instructor<br /> La Jolla Institute for Immunology</p> <p><a href="https://gvn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/RISING-STAR-SPOTLIGHT-Annie-Elong-Ngono.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to read the full testimonial.</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-separator fl-node-aihx9gzcjmfp" data-node="aihx9gzcjmfp"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-separator"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article>  </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="fl-builder-content fl-builder-content-19780 fl-builder-global-templates-locked" data-post-id="19780" data-type="footer" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/WPFooter"><div class="fl-row fl-row-full-width fl-row-bg-color fl-node-wlnfaxdh3tj4 fl-row-default-height fl-row-align-center" data-node="wlnfaxdh3tj4"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-full-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-izg2rnokq3jw" data-node="izg2rnokq3jw"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-d5tak7nzgo6s fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="d5tak7nzgo6s"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-75gm2d1acq3z" data-node="75gm2d1acq3z"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-photo fl-photo-align-left" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-png"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="fl-photo-img wp-image-24 size-full" src="https://gvn.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/logoGVN.png" alt="logoGVN" itemprop="image" height="108" width="221" title="logoGVN" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-i0d3ruhxv8ql fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="i0d3ruhxv8ql"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"></div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-k7sm3ny5go4t fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="k7sm3ny5go4t"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-pp-social-icons fl-node-qe3sj17ha8op" data-node="qe3sj17ha8op"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="pp-social-icons pp-social-icons-horizontal"> <span class="pp-social-icon" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization"> <link itemprop="url" href="https://gvn.org"> <a itemprop="sameAs" href="https://twitter.com/GlobalVirusNews" target="_blank" title="X (Twitter)" aria-label="X (Twitter)" role="button" rel="noopener noreferrer external" > <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path d="M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z"></path></svg>  </a> </span> <span class="pp-social-icon" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization"> <link itemprop="url" href="https://gvn.org"> <a itemprop="sameAs" href="https://www.facebook.com/GlobalVirusNetwork/" target="_blank" title="Facebook" aria-label="Facebook" role="button" rel="noopener noreferrer external" > <i class="fab fa-facebook"></i> </a> </span> <span class="pp-social-icon" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization"> <link itemprop="url" href="https://gvn.org"> <a itemprop="sameAs" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-virus-network/" target="_blank" title="LinkedIn" aria-label="LinkedIn" role="button" rel="noopener noreferrer external" > <i class="fab fa-linkedin"></i> </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-rvc0btus1azo" data-node="rvc0btus1azo"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-06deu1mkwog2 fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="06deu1mkwog2"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-40mgd9f76ex2" data-node="40mgd9f76ex2"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <p>Copyright © 2024 · GVN · All Rights Reserved</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-ul9norbfzmhe fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="ul9norbfzmhe"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-1otj56kazxi8" data-node="1otj56kazxi8"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Site originally developed by Absolute Marketing Solutions</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script> window.RS_MODULES = window.RS_MODULES || {};
