Contents |
Lectures are focused on basic aspects of virology and selected interactions of viral pathogens with cellular processes especially in view of viral replication strategies, virus-induced signaling and transformation as well as metabolism, host defense and immunopathology. Based on current publications, such topics will be discussed in seminars. In the practical course, students will learn the handling of human pathogenic viruses and cell cultures. In addition, experiments are focused on reverse genetics, virus-induced transformation and the induction of host defense mechanisms. |
