Virology Lectures 2023 #25: Therapeutic viruses

The use of viruses and virus vectors to treat or prevent human diseases has been made possible by the contributions of basic virology research. This work has provided a fundamental understanding about viral genomes, replication, and interaction with the host that together with clinical research has created this growing field. In this final session of Virology Lectures 2023, we describe different viruses used for gene therapy, how they work, and examples of their use for treating bacterial infections with bacteriophages, vaccines, monogenic gene therapy, and viral oncotherapy.

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this RUclips channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded several times each week.
I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

From Central Asia, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, thank you Professor Racaniello for these series of lectures that helped me understand deeper. Thank you for making knowledge open for all. Using this opportunity, many people / students can learn many things and be interested in virology. Thanks, I am interested 🎉 Thank you again. Be healthy 🙏

💙From Helsingborg, Sweden! This year I really enjoyed all the extra updates and visuals, you have obviously been working hard in The Incubator!

Thank you once again for this enlightening course. This is the fourth that I have watched in "real time", but I have gone back and watched most of the earlier series. I am amazed just how much the field has changed in the last 10 years; hoping that I live long enough to witness the changes in the next decade.

I loved your lucid presentation, professor-- you are super. My interest in virology has immensely grown as I came across your lectures here in this channel. Virus are bad in general cause they make us sick but on the other hand we can also harness their immense potential for the therapeutic/ cure purpose of diseases.
