This course provides advanced training for research in Virology using practical and theoretical approaches. Molecular biology, host-virus interactions, pathogenesis and epidemiology of the viral families are presented.Candidats must have a good knowledge of Molecular and Cellular Biology, as well as a first year Masters level in Virology.

The course will be taught in French.

Topics include: structure of viruses and expression of viral genomes; virus/host molecular interactions; strategies for virus survival and host defense; pathogenesis and antiviral therapeutical approaches; viral vectors; vaccines; epidemiology and emerging viruses.
The program of the course consists of the following sections:
1. Two weeks of general lectures concerning the basic mechanisms of cell and virus functions.
2. One week of practical courses concerning molecular epidemiology and phylogeny of viruses.
3. Four weeks and a half of specialized lectures including experimental work on different viruses and their associated pathologies. Seminars around a theme supervised by a senior scientist and preparation of a written report.
