Clinical Virology Network

I chose virology because I really like finding out how small things work. By drilling down to the tiniest DNA or RNA detail of viruses, there is a prospect of understanding how they transmit, persist and cause disease, and how they still manage to evade our immune system. It’s fascinating.
