- 1 Intro
- 2 Virology has had a phenomenal impact on biological discovery
- 3 A successful modern virologist must know a little about everything!
- 4 Virologists Have Job Security.... Viruses are a deep part of the planet's ecosystem - they are everywhere life exists
- 5 Virus ecology: our ignorance has been remarkable - consider new data on virus particles in the oceans.
- 6 Another Surprise: Virus particles are supposed to be very small: A "girus", a giant virus particle
- 7 Even larger virus particles are out there (the megaviruses)
- 8 An astonishing diversity of viruses awaits discovery Look at these wasp virus particles
- 9 Wasp virus particles consist of several nucleocapsids surrounded by two envelopes
- 10 What next in Virology? Certainly there will be new technology Technology opens new vistas
- 11 Viral DNA technology has revolutionized epidemiology
- 12 Host Genetics: We are finding differences in individual genomes that make them more or less susceptible to viral infections.
- 13 In the past, identifying pathogens has been difficult and slow
- 14 An example of technology opening new vistas: Pathogen discovery by sequencing the fecal virome
- 15 The identification of new viruses brings a serious challenge
- 16 Our intestinal microflora (the microbiome) are essential for our health and limit the colonization of pathogenic bacteria
- 17 A systems approach to virology
- 18 The fundamental premise of "holistic virology": Systems Virology
- 19 Future studies of viral pathogenesis will reveal specific viral slanatures of network imbalance
- 20 Other new technologies are coming quickly to fill out the premise of systems virology
- 21 Coupling new technology with established procedures
- 22 Major questions facing virologists
- 23 Public need and support will continue to drive virology's future
- 24 Scientists must make it clear that economic stability is interwoven with scientific progress
- 25 Training virologists for the future
- 26 Interdisciplinary team work is powerful
- 27 Look at virology discovery history: all those Nobel Prizes...
- 28 THE CRYSTAL BALL
- 29 The obvious drivers of virology research in the next decade
- 30 We are at a seminal moment in the conduct of the life sciences
- 31 The future of journals and traditional publications is not clear. Scientific communication is changing
- 32 One thing is certain: The basic biology of viruses, even those that today may not seem relevant to human, animal, and plant disease, must be studied.
