What is Our Mission?
To put it plainly, Virology is the study of the types, behaviors and properties of viruses. We at Clinical Virology are devoted not only to understanding viruses, but also how viruses are discovered, diagnosed and treated by health care practitioners.
In short we are devoted to helping health care practitioners understand and implement the latest discoveries and cutting edge treatments to more effectively handle and treat patients whom have come down with a virus.
We believe that this bringing together of two worlds is absolutely essential to minimizing the damage from potentially deadly virus outbreaks. It is also vital for helping us understand and prepare for flu season each year.
Imagine a day when doctors are able to accurately predict which flu strain will spread each year and vaccinate all vulnerable people? ‘Flu season’ would become a thing of the past!
