Course Information
Description
This course provides a foray into virology, advanced cell biology, biochemistry and structural biology topics through the lens of viruses as they invade their hosts. Lectures first demonstrate concepts by placing a particular emphasis on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which provides well-studied examples of intricate virus-host interactions that occur throughout its complex life cycle. Discussion sections then solidify these concepts by analysis of primary literature on other viruses, for example SARS-CoV2, Ebola, etc.
