The importance of vigilant monitoring of all viral spread and mutation is paramount for everyone, especially physicians and other health professionals, and cannot be overstated. Learn more about remaining up to date on viral mutations and incidences as well as why viruses spread and mutate by registering for Evolution of Viruses: Why Do They Do What They Do? on Thursday, December 12th at 7:30 am. Stephen S. Morse, PhD, Professor of Epidemiology and Director of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, will serve as faculty for this webinar. Register now.
Educational Objectives are:
- Examine the genetic relationships between viral strains to better understand which strains of a certain virus (COVID, Mpox, H5N1) are more transmissible and virulent
- Recognize the relationship between antigenic evolution and vaccine development
- Investigate evolutionary trajectories of viruses in specific hosts to better predict and prevent epidemics
