"The spread of viruses through the air is a well-known phenomenon, but the latest research methods and an interdisciplinary approach from the laboratory to the practical situation have revolutionized virological research. Understanding the factors affecting airborne transmission on a completely new level also enables the development of effective control measures."

Seminar themes
