Risk Assessment for Viral Vectors

This course will focus on how to perform risk assessments for risk the most popular viral vectors used in scientific research. Both in vitro and in vivo risk assessments will be covered. Less commonly used and emerging viral vector systems will also be introduced. The modification of viral vectors to alter the cellular tropism and safety is changing rapidly, so this course will introduce resources for learning about vectors as they emerge. This course will also include interactive exercises that will allow opportunities for application of concepts and benchmarking between institutions.
