Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course will combine the molecular and clinical aspects of virology, thus providing a balanced approach to Medical Virology. This course provides an understanding of viral structure and pathogenesis. While it is focused almost entirely on viruses that infect humans and cause serious disease, it will also discuss virus-like agents (prions, viroids, etc.). In addition to traditional topics, this course will explain trends in Virology, including virus-based gene therapy; modern advances in vaccinology; “oncolytic” viruses to treat cancers; emerging viruses and potential bioterrorism agents.
