General Virology Course
This General Virology Course equips biological sciences professionals with essential practical skills in genomic sequencing, virus isolation, diagnostics, and biosafety to effectively detect, characterise, and control enveloped respiratory viruses. Participants gain hands-on expertise in metagenomic pipelines, qRT-PCR assay design, in vitro virus culture, BSL-2/3 protocols, ethical considerations, and linking viral traits to disease outcomes for informed decision-making in virology practice.
