Nearly every day coronavirus is in the news, but how do these viruses really infect us? And how can a better understanding of these infections at the molecular level help us to develop treatment strategies? In this lecture series, David Veesler from Washington University and colleagues from Utrecht University, will present their latest insights on virus infection acquired by structural and functional virology, with a focus on corona virus infection. .
