General Virology Course
This General Virology Course equips biological sciences professionals with essential practical skills in genomic sequencing, virus isolation, diagnostics, and biosafety. Participants will learn to detect, characterise, and control enveloped respiratory viruses through hands-on workflows including metagenomic pipelines, qRT-PCR assay design, in vitro culturing, BSL practices, and linking pathogenesis to clinical outcomes, enabling rapid and reliable decision-making in virology.
