Foundations in Virology and Vaccinology Specialization

Virus/Vaccine elements, Infection Prevention/Cause. Explain the fundamentals of vaccinology in the context of what vaccines are and how vaccines protect us; identify different vaccine types and differentiate between the different applications of vaccines; explain the fundamental principles of virology whilst recognising the diversity of virus structure and differences in approach required to detect and track viruses amongst different populations; and assess the different approaches to the treatment of viruses, and contrast this to vaccine protection.

This course explores the different types of vaccine available. This is a useful framework for understanding the scientific understanding that went into vaccine development. It also gives a perspective of how innovation (e.g. fundamental virology, molecular biology) work in a translational medicine context. [...]

What Are Viruses And How Do We Work With Them? (Coursera)

This course describes the basic nature if viruses and basic concepts of how they replicate. It looks at traditional methods for propagating and assaying viruses as well as methods to identify and follow them in individuals and populations. It will also look at how we can use molecular genetics [...]
