Laboratory of Viral Biology

The Laboratory of Viral Biology is a scientific research facility focused on studying viruses—the tiny agents that can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Researchers investigate how viruses infect cells, replicate, and spread. Their work helps develop vaccines, antiviral drugs, and diagnostic tools to prevent and treat viral infections. By understanding virus behavior at a molecular level, the lab contributes to advancements in public health and prepares for emerging viral threats. The lab combines biology, genetics, and chemistry to uncover the intricate mechanisms of viruses and improve our ability to combat infectious diseases.
