Our preparedness against viral diseases and our ability to exploit viral structures and their mechanisms of action to advance technology both require transdisciplinary collaborations. The EMBO|FEBS Lecture Course “Physical Virology: across length scales” aims at gathering researchers from various scientific disciplines with a common interest in viruses and at inspiring a new generation of transdisciplinary virus-oriented scientists. The program will address fundamental aspects of infection across the length scales from a transdisciplinary vantage point. It will further highlight promising methodological developments for the field of physical virology before addressing applied aspects of virology (virus-inspired materials, therapeutics and diagnostics).
