Viruses and Nanotechnology: Using Viruses against Themselves

Discover the intricacies and differences of viruses and bacterial infections as told by an expert Pathologist. Then hear from a Virologist who reveals various techniques used to study viruses, such as cryo-electron microscopy, as well as the mathematical and biophysical modeling of viruses. Then talk to a Nanotechnologist about how these techniques have been used in the emerging field of Nanotechnology to construct artificial models of viruses to find cures for diseases. Finally, a Forensic Engineer examines the problems that might arise through the use of Nanotechnology and sparks discussion with your students regarding the future of Medical Technology.
