Viruses, the most abundant members of the biosphere by at least an order of magnitude, are fascinating in their own right and provide a unique window into cellular life. They interact with host cells in ways that uniquely reveal a great deal about general aspects of molecular and cellular structure and function. Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses (Garland Science, 2019) leads students on an exploration of viruses by supporting engaging and interactive learning. Author and biology major Phoebe Lostroh ’94 was inspired by professor emeritus Bruce Voyles’ textbook.
