My Life with Viruses
A researcher’s history of the fascinating world of pathogens
by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker in association with Jeanne Rubner
Description
In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but
Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by
viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday
the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’
between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements
between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental
research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.
