The Paradigm Builder Lectureship has been developed to recognize established investigators working in the area of neurovirology or a related discipline for their scientific achievements. More specifically, the lectureship has been developed to highlight the establishment of well-defined scientific frameworks within which theories, laws, generalizations, and the experiments performed in support of them, are formulated.
