EMBO-FEBS Lecture course: Physical Virology: across length scales
1 June – 6 June CEST
Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
Our preparedness against viral diseases and our ability to exploit viral structures to advance technology, both require multidisciplinary collaborations. In this context, physics-oriented approaches and the study of viral infection from the standpoint of a physicist with emerging biophysical tools, provide critical insights to the field of virology. The field of physical virology contributes to a new transdisciplinary paradigm that scrutinizes the very mechanisms that determine the assembly, stability and disassembly of viruses that are key to understand the interplay of structure, property and function. Beyond the intrinsic biological interest, this understanding facilitates the development of virus-inspired materials for technological applications. The EMBO|FEBS Lecture Course “Physical Virology: across length scales” aims at gathering researchers from various scientific disciplines with a common interest in viruses and at inspiring a new generation of transdisciplinary virus-oriented scientists. The program will address fundamental aspects of infection across the length scales from a multidisciplinary vantage point. It will further highlight promising methodological developments for the field of physical virology before addressing applied aspects of virology (virus-inspired materials, therapeutics and diagnostics).
