This specialization in virology and vaccination will provide insight into the molecular and cellular components of vaccines and viruses.
This specialization examines how viruses cause infections and the role of vaccines in preventing them. It will provide a good foundation for further research work in immunology, virology and infectious diseases, or for a career in the pharmacology and molecular biology industry.
You can take the courses in any order you choose, but there are relevant themes in each course.
Over the four courses in this specialization, you will have the opportunity to take a series of formative and summative assessments in which you will apply what you have learned about how viruses work and how vaccines prevent infections. These will examine the history of the development of virology and vaccination, as well as current issues in both fields, such as the SARS-2-CoV (COVID-19) outbreak and the science behind the development of vaccines against this virus.
