Ben Berkhout is Head of the Laboratory of Experimental Virology at the Academic Medical Center (AMC) of the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), where he is Professor of Virology. Ben received his Ph.D. in 1986 at the University of Leiden on gene regulation in the RNA bacteriophage MS2. He did post-doctoral training at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School (Boston) and the National Institutes of Health, Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology (Bethesda). He moved back to the Netherlands in 1991 to set up HIV-1 research at the University of Amsterdam. Ben has published over 440 scientific papers that were cited more than 14500 times, yielding an H-index of 62. He is currently editor of several journals (e.g. Retrovirology, Virus Research, Journal of Biomedical Science) and editorial board member of many more. His current research includes basic RNA studies (new RNAi mechanisms, structure and function of HIV-1 RNA) and applied research (RNAi-based gene therapy for HIV-AIDS, novel live-attenuated vaccine designs).

Hildegund C. J. Ertl is a Professor at the Wistar Institute where she serves as the Director of the Wistar Vaccine Center. She is an Adjunct Professor in Pathology at the University of Pennsylvania and an Adjunct Professor in Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She obtained her MD in 1977 from the George-August University in Göttingen, Germany and did her postdoctoral studies at the John Curtin School in Canberra, Australia. She was an Assistant Professor at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA and then moved as an Associate Professor to the Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, PA. Her research focuses on viral immunology with emphasis on development of viral vector vaccines and immunological consequences of virus-mediated gene transfer. She has over 220 publications and serves as an Editor on several journals (Current Opinion in Immunology, Current Opinion in Virology, Molecular Therapy,and others).

Dr. Marc S. Weinberg is a molecular biologist and is currently Associate Professor at the University of the Witwatersrand and a Visiting Professor at the Scripps Research Institute, USA. His research focuses on the therapeutic functions of ribonucleic acid (RNA). He graduated with a PhD from The University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa in 2002 and was a postdoctoral fellow at City of Hope Medical Center, California, USA where studied fast-cleaving hammerhead ribozymes and RNA-based transcriptional modulators against HIV. Thereafter, his work turned to small RNAs that attenuate viral gene function and he was one of the first to show that small single-stranded RNAs can switch genes off directly using components of a nuclear RNA interference pathway. Dr. Weinberg has made important contributions to the development of novel RNA structures that are processed into safe and useful antiviral inhibitors, specifically against HIV and HBV. Lately, his work focuses on new ways to modulate non-coding RNA genes using cell-selected aptamers, CRISPR/Cas9 modulators and mobilization lentiviral vectors as delivery vehicles, with specific emphasis on how these approaches can be used against latent HIV infection. Dr. Weinberg has over 50 publications and holds 6 patents for RNA applications in biopharama and agriculture. He has also supervised 20 graduate students to completion. He is on the editorial board of Molecular Therapy Nucleic Acids, Journal of Biological Methods and the South African Journal of Science.

Right of withdrawal

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
