Additionally, how viruses cause disease, or pathogenesis, will be highlighted during the discussion of each virus family, and a chapter on the immune response to viruses will be included. Further, research laboratory assays and viral diagnosis assays will be discussed, as will vaccines, anti-viral drugs, gene therapy, and the beneficial uses of viruses. By focusing on general virology principles, current and future technologies, familiar human viruses, and the effects of these viruses on humans, this textbook will provide a solid foundation in virology while keeping the interest of undergraduate students.
Jennifer Louten is currently a Professor of Biology at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, USA. She has served as a Teaching Fellow and has developed courses in virology, biotechnology, immunology, and cell culture techniques. She is the recipient of an Outstanding Teaching Award, Outstanding Early Career Faculty Award, and the Student Government Association’s Faculty of the Year Award. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University Medical School, where she investigated the cellular targets of infection and the induction of type 1 interferons following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Before joining academia, Dr. Louten performed research in drug discovery at Schering-Plough Biopharma (currently Merck Research Laboratories). She received her Bachelor of Science in biotechnology from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
