      I haven’t discovered any viruses but we have used a lot of viruses in the lab such as adenovirus (that causes the common cold) herpes (that causes warts) measles.
      Our virus and the technology we use in our lab is also being used to try to treat cystic fibrosis and some forms of blindness too though!
