Conduct research into viral diseases of Public Health importance including HIV-AIDS, poliomyelitis, influenza, viral haemorrhagic fevers and SARS-CoV-2. Most research activities involve the use of molecular methods such as regular PCR (PCR), quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), genomic sequence and analysis using different software, genetic engineering, probe hybridization techniques, biological and molecular cloning, evaluation of immune markers for laboratory diagnosis of infections, serological assays involving the use of rapid tests, ELISA-based evaluations and immunofluorescent assay techniques. Staff are also deeply involved with cell and tissue culture, as well as virus propagation and isolation.
