The institute's research activities include the pathogenesis of viral infections and the interaction between various viruses and the human immune system. In addition, numerous research projects focus on clinical virology and viral epidemiology.
The main research areas of the Center for Virology are:
- Analysis of various aspects of the immune response to viral infections, aiming to identify antiviral protective mechanisms following infection and vaccination
- Epidemiology of human-pathogenic and zoonotic viral infections
- Transplant virology
- Investigation of virus-cell interactions
- Development of new approaches and methods in viral diagnostics
- Viral genetic analyses
