Have you ever wondered why some things become popular while others don’t? This course explains fundamental ideas and factors related to how to make things more persuasive and viral. This course combines theory and practical application.

This course is aimed to provide knowledge about viruses and their both harmful and potentially beneficial properties for human health, as well as viral diseases of veterinary and agricultural importance. Students will study classification and nomenclature of viruses, their structure, virus structure, virus-cell interaction, virus replication cycles; attachment and entry of viruses into cells, assembly and exit of virions from cells.

This course focuses on the principles of viral infection and pathogenicity. Topics include the classification of viruses, virus entry, genome replication and assembly, emphasis placed on virus-host cell interactions and common features between viral families.
