Viral Genomics
Viral genomics uses advanced analytical technologies to study the biology of disease-causing viruses at a genetic level. The aim of viral genomics is to better understand how viruses interact with their hosts and how infections spread through communities. This enables drug and vaccine development efforts as well as informing public health policies.
