Virology, Molecular Biology, and Infectious Disease Diagnostics: An Introduction
Richard Willson
Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Biology & Biochemistry, and Biomedical Engineering
The University of Houston
Abstract:. As requested by the organizers, this will not be a typical seminar about research.  Instead, it will be an introductory discussion of the biology of viruses, how they resemble and differ from us, and the various approaches to diagnosing viral infections.
