SUMMARY:

Join John Tregoning for this livestream talk where he will uncover fascinating success stories in immunology and virology, telling a hopeful story of ongoing human ingenuity.

Nature can be deadly. Viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa all want to infect your body and don't mind if they kill you so long as you pass on the infection.

Covid-19 may be only the first of many modern pandemics. The subject of infection and how to fight it grows more urgent every day. How do pathogens cause disease? And what tools can we give our bodies to do battle?
