Virtuous Viruses - Horn Point Lab Series

Presented by Professor Joaquín Martínez Martínez
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, capable of infecting all forms of life! While they are often associated with diseases we want to avoid, they also play a critical and often overlooked role in maintaining the balance of our planet’s ecosystems. In the oceans, viruses help regulate biological and chemical processes and even serve as food for other microbes.
Join ocean virus ecologist Joaquín Martínez Martínez, a new faculty member at Horn Point, for a discussion on the fascinating vital role viruses play in marine life and ocean health. Discover how understanding viral infection is important to find solutions to pressing environmental challenges.
