Joe DiRisi hunts the next killer virus


Joe DiRisi is a Biochemist, and in this clip he talks about amazing new ways to diagnose viruses { and treat the illnesses they cause}using DNA. Maybe a modern day Dr. Gregory House MD. { HAHA a little insight to my life}.

Things covered in this clip:
- complexity and evolving viruses
- balance of ultra conservation
- wide spectrum of virus'
- How viruses evolve
-How to create a DNA ray machine... {HAHA}
- How to identfy some viruses
- experiment on respiratory colds

I found this clip VERY interesting. It is amazing how much people know about these little things {viruses}.
Joe was quite funny while talking about serious content.
