MPhil Veterinary Virology
Course Overview
This research program in Veterinary Virology investigates the transmission, behavior, and immune response to critical viral pathogens to develop advanced therapeutic and vaccine strategies. Students will engage in cutting-edge research at two state-of-the-art laboratory sites, utilizing a comprehensive toolkit of modern virological and immunological techniques. The ultimate aim is to translate scientific discoveries into tangible improvements for animal health and welfare.
Key Program Highlights
- Research a diverse spectrum of viruses, including avian, porcine, feline, and mosquito-borne arboviruses.
- Gain hands-on experience with advanced techniques like genomics, proteomics, flow cytometry, and infection modeling.
- Conduct research within modern facilities at two dedicated campuses in Liverpool and on the Wirral.
- Focus on critical areas such as viral evolution, transmission dynamics, and molecular immunopathogenesis.
- Work towards the direct application of research in developing improved diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics.
