91É«ÇéƬÌýVirology Research Lab
Advancing virology research at Prince of Wales Hospital
We investigate how viruses infect, spread and cause disease
The VRL focuses on molecular virology and viral pathogenesis.ÌýOur work spans molecular to population scales, generating insights that connect fundamental virology with effective public health responses to emerging and evolving viral threats.
Together, our researchers, scientistsÌýand studentsÌýstudyÌývirusesÌýsuch as cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2,ÌýinfluenzaÌýand enteroviruses.
Access to cutting-edge viral surveillance technologies
Collaborative research with published international impact
State-of-the-art facilities and established networks
We advance discovery through collaboration
91É«ÇéƬ's VRL drives breakthroughsÌýby bringing together curious minds. Our laboratory offersÌýresearch internships,ÌýprojectÌýcollaborations,ÌýandÌýPhDÌýandÌýpostdoctoral positionsÌýforÌýscientists,ÌýresearchersÌýand students – from 91É«ÇéƬ andÌýaround the world.
