The primary goal of the Molecular Virology group is to train the next generation of scientists interested in pursuing problems in virology and related disciplines. The program draws upon the vast diversity of scientific expertise at Purdue and allows students to receive broad experience in the field. Virologists at Purdue work in several areas that include virus structure and function, virus assembly, viral gene expression, antiviral drug development, virus vectors for gene delivery, recombinant virus vaccines, virus pathogenesis, viral genome analyses, and the development of virus-resistant transgenic plants. Students receive training in biochemical, molecular genetic, cell biological, and structural approaches to virus replication and control.
Training Groups are topic-oriented research groups consisting of faculty from multiple departments.
Training groups are an administrative home for PULSe students, a student choice that impacts
curriculum and research training activities.
