Results for BIOS 253: Discovery and Innovation in Emerging Viral Infections

An interdisciplinary mini course focused on challenges posed by emerging viruses and innovative efforts to overcome them. Modules include epidemiology and ecology of emerging viral infections, such as Ebola, dengue, and Zika, discovery of new emerging viruses, development and application of molecular assays for the diagnosis and management of emerging viral infections, bioinformatics and genetic approaches for antiviral target discovery, and novel therapeutic approaches for combating emerging viruses. It is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in emerging viral infections. Advanced undergraduates are also welcome. Prerequisite: background in molecular biology.
