Our lives have been greatly impacted by COVID-19, the novel coronavirus. You?re probably familiar with other viruses like the flu or common cold. But not all viruses cause health problems. Some,like bacteriophages, can even be used to treat infections. In this discussion-based seminar we?ll explore a variety of viruses, how they replicate, how our immune systemresponds, and how vaccines work.
