This course consists of 13 specialized lectures delivered by expert virologists with extensive experience in the specific fields outlined in the annotations. The curriculum is structured into four core thematic blocks: innate immunity, viral pathogenesis, methodological advances, and updates on human pathogens. To ensure both engagement and mastery of these complex topics, students are required to answer two assessment questions at the conclusion of each session. Active participation through questions and comments is highly encouraged. Preparation and Participation A complete list of topics for all 13 lectures will be provided to students during the first class. This is intended to allow students to prepare in advance by reading a review or a recent scientific article related to the upcoming topic, thereby fostering more robust participation and discussion during the sessions.
