Christine Goffinet is a Prof., leader of the team "Innate Immunity and Viral Evasion" at the Institute of Virology from the Berlin Institute of Health. She is since many years an expert in the HIV-1 field, and now also intensively working on SARS-CoV-2, interested in gaining a better understanding of the interplay between host cells and viruses at the cellular and molecular level.

She is invited by Serge Benichou.
