Many DNA and RNA viruses are under study, including DNA tumor viruses, animal and human herpes viruses, retroviruses including HIV, rhabdo and corona viruses. The disciplines involved in these studies include molecular biology, structural biology and immunology. Each trainer has independent funding and all have active research programs. The training grant organizes a highly popular annual training symposium at which the trainees in each investigator s laboratory present their work and the training grant camaraderie is established and maintained.
