The course combines lecture-based classes with discussion of scientific literature, covering research approaches in virology, and student presentations. For MMI 515, lectures are the same as MMI 415, but there will be an additional assignment for MMI 515 students. This course may not be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained for MMI 415. Consent of Department required.
