The new managing director of Hydrotox GmbH is Dr. Florian H. H. Brill. Your local contact at Hydrotox remains Dr. Christoph Hafner, who is the representative of the local management and has been assigned with the respective power of attorney.

The 9th Conference of Applied Hygiene, Microbiology and Virology last November was once again a great success, and again attracted international attention. Almost 100 people from 16 countries took part - some online, but the majority in person on site. Both days were characterized by lively exchanges and discussions on the presentations and intensive networking during the breaks. Of course, the Keynote Lectures by Leslie Rachel, MSc, USA, Professor Dr. Kurt-Wilhelm Stahl, Freiburg and Dr. Florian H. H. Brill were of particular interest. Another highlight was the first-time cooperation with our partner BioGenius, who contributed a highly interesting session on the topic of regulatory. The event was rounded off with a visit to a wonderful winter Christmas market and a merry dinner on the Alster.

Save the Date: Celebrate with us this year's big anniversary CAHMV, the 10th edition of our conference!
