Positive strand RNA virus research in University of Tartu
Each and every virus is a unique and highly complex system. The complexity is hugely increased when one considers also interactions of viruses with its host and, for vector transmitted viruses, with the arthropod vector. Our research focus has been RNA replication process/enzymes/complexes of positive-strand RNA viruses. As genome replication and gene expression represent the central event for infection cycle of a virus it effects directly or indirectly all other aspects of biology of viruses.

Group seminar at Taagepera castle
April's group seminar was held on the 15th and 16th at Taagepera castle to give everyone a chance to present their ideas and results in a more scenic and relaxed environment.
We thank all who could make it and look forward to another virology packed outing!
