The mission of the CVR is to carry out multidisciplinary research on viruses and viral diseases of humans and animals, translating the knowledge gained for the improvement of human and animal health. Contagious Thinking will act as a hub to communicate that science in an accurate, fun and engaging way through written articles, audio podcasts and video footage, produced by our staff and students. We encourage all feedback and dialogue.
