Welcome to the Virology community at Cornell University!
Our goal is to foster a community among the many virology laboratories here at Cornell, by providing opportunities to discuss current topics in virology and sharing information about activities, collaborations, and opportunities going on here. There are a number of different faculty at Cornell who participate in the program, who you can read about here. If you need more information, reach out to Colin Parrish (crp3@cornell.edu) or any other faculty member. We use a Cornell e-list to share information about our activities, journal clubs, and seminars. You can join by emailing virology-l-request@cornell.edu and including “join” in the subject line.
