IISER Tirupati Introduced a new course, “BIO329/629: Pandemics:
Disease & Intervention”
As the world grapples with COVID-19, there is an ever-increasing need for developing a scientifically rigorous awareness course on infectious diseases, especially those which potentially could turn into a COVID-19-like pandemic. With biological and related expert faculty, students will get a first-hand contemporary scientific literature discussed in the course. With a focus on COVID-19, but deriving a broad analysis of related ones from the history of pandemics, this course will systematically introduce the scientific topics of identification, research, biomarker discovery for detection and treatments with drugs and possible vaccination pathways in the context of a realistic pandemic and integrate these with regulatory aspects of prevention and control of spread.
