The module consists of a lecture in the first semester (WS) and a seminar in the second semester (SS).
Additional module information: Modulbeschreibung Molekulare Biologie viraler Erreger und Vektoren

General module information: The module consists of a lecture in the first semester (WS) and a seminar in the second semester (SS). After attending the module, the students have a wide range of theoretical knowledge about the molecular replication strategies of viruses, the mechanisms of virus-host cell interactions, the pathogenicity mechanisms of selected virus groups and the use of viral vectors in modern medicine. They are able to work on their own original literature, to present it and to discuss it critically

Final examination in written form after completion of the lecture at the end of the winter semester. Passing of the examination (at least 50% of the points to be achieved) is a prerequisite for participation in the seminar in the summer semester. The result of the examination is also is the basis for the grading of the subject module.
