About the Institute for Translational Virology & Innovation
The Philosophy of ITVI
"We ought not to be embarrassed of appreciating the truth
and of obtaining it wherever it comes from,
even if it comes from races distant and nations different from us.
Nothing should be dearer to the seeker of truth than the truth itself,
and there is no deterioration of the truth,
nor belittling either of one who speaks it or conveys it."
Al-Kindi
