We're looking into Bluetongue virus, its ruminant hosts, insect vectors and the environment.
We’re a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary team of researchers bringing together expertise to make new discoveries, deepen scientific understanding and pioneer novel approaches to challenging human and veterinary virus infections.
A powerful new perspective
Historically, virologists across the University focused separately on virus infections within human health and veterinary medicine. In 2014, we decided to come together as ‘One Virology’ to achieve even more.
This led to a successful bid to the Wolfson laboratory refurbishment scheme and formation of the Wolfson Centre for Global Virus Research. The Centre includes The Elms Annex building containing a suite of CL2 laboratories, offices, meeting and workspaces and the Wolfson CL3 Annex, a separate unit with a cell culture facility and two large CL3 laboratories.
As part of One Virology, virologists within the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science achieve a greater critical mass and benefit from this harnessing of combined expertise to create fresh perspectives, drive exciting projects and make important breakthroughs.
From African horse sickness to Zika, we’re developing strategies for dealing with some of the most potentially devastating viral diseases on the planet and deepening our understanding of disease resistance to unlock new prevention and treatment possibilities.
Our mission is to improve public health (human and veterinary), animal welfare and global food security.
