BIO 345 Virology
This course will survey the diversity among major classes of viruses in genomic material, replication, and host cell interaction. We will discuss aspects of antiviral strategies by the host immune response as well as ongoing research in medical antiviral therapies. In addition, we will cover various ways that viruses have been harnessed as useful tools in the laboratory as sources of unique enzymes, vectors for introducing exogenous material into cells, and in various other applications such as phage display.
