Virology and Prion biology has significant impacted basic research in molecularbiology, neurology and neuropathology, immunology, epidemiology,epigenetics and gene regulation, pathogenesis. In addition, many technicalimprovements ranging from trans-gene expression to high-through putscreening have their roots in virology/prion research. Translational medicinehas benefitted not only from the technical advances, but also from recentadvances in cell biology stemming from basic virology/prion biology. Withthis in mind, it would benefit those interested in translational medicine tokeep abreast of current topics in virology.
