Virology and Vaccinology

Virology and vaccinology are fields that have moved firmly into the global spotlight since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic, with increased public interest and rapidly growing bodies of research in both areas.

Both disciplines play a pivotal role in relieving the global burden of disease by informing the development of new treatments and vaccines, and their uses in public health.

“

This collection brings together content and activities on virology and vaccinology from the Biochemical Society, which I hope will engage, inform and educate on these exciting subjects.

COVID-19 community surveys

We have conducted three community surveys since 2020 to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our discipline.

Read the results in full and view a snapshot of responses on the permanent and long term impacts of the pandemic on aspects of scientific research and careers, taken from phase 3 of the survey.
