Unpacking a flu virus (Series 1 - Episode 2) - a podcast by MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research

This week, Jack and Connor are joined by Dr Yohei Yamauchi to hear about how an influenza virus particle is unpacked after breaking into a cell. This is an incredibly important part of the viruses life cycle as all viruses must enter into our cells in order to cause an infection.

You can find out more about Yohei’s work over at his lab's website, https://www.yamauchilab.com, or check out some of our previous content about flu over at cvrblogs.myportfolio.com.
