Main organisation:Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation
Lifecycle:1 Jun 2024 → Today
Organisation profile:
Understanding viral genetics, transmission, and pathogenesis is essential for effective interventions in virology. Antiviral drugs play a vital role in treating viral infections. They inhibit viral replication, prevent spread, and alleviate symptoms. Ongoing research focuses on improving antiviral therapies and developing effective vaccines.
