How Viruses Changed Our Lives - Past and Present
Dr. Melanie Krause (@m_krause0206 on Twitter)


Even before SARS-CoV-2 forced us all into a year of isolation, epidemics and pandemics have actually been a more frequent occurrence in human history than many of us may be aware of. In her talk, Dr. Melanie Krause, a cell biologist and virologist working at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany, will talk about these other viruses that have caused huge disease outbreaks in the past. She will particularly focus on pox viruses, their effect on humankind, how they trick the immune system and how the world’s largest vaccine roll-out was so successful that today no one hears about poxviruses anymore.
