报告摘要：

In this talk, I will address the recent advances in “physical virology”. Virus structure presents some interesting problems in fundamental soft condensed matter physics and biophysics, among which are the symmetry of the virus shells, the packing of the genome and the interaction of viruses with their surroundings. These problems are all within the domain of physical sciences and they have provided us with some interesting insights..
