The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) will sponsor a series of
virology lectures highlighting recent progress in vaccine development and
new directions in our approach to working with and understanding animal
viruses. The series will have relevance to virologists, as well as other
laboratory and professional personnel. It is hoped that the selection of
topics will reinforce the idea that the study of viruses can produce
knowledge that not only offers direct benefits to humans, such as vaccine
development, but also indirect and sometimes unpredicted benefits in our
understanding of biological systems.
An outstanding group of invited speakers will provide information on the
extent to which our increased understanding of viruses now makes possible
not only improved control methods, but also allows certain viruses to be
utilized as tools. The seminar is geared toward basic and applied
researchers with an interest in how current efforts are changing the face
of virology.
