Professor Bertus Rima, MSc, PhD, FIBIOL, MRIA. Medical Biology
Centre, The Queen's University of Belfast
Professor Rima was appointed Professor of Molecular Biology at
the Queen's University, Belfast, in 1993. His main research interest
is to apply molecular biological and genetic techniques to virology
and infectious diseases in general. He has an interest in human
viruses (mumps and measles) as well as animal viruses such as rinderpest,
canine distemper and seal and dolphin viruses of the same group.
His work now centres primarily on how viruses are attenuated for
vaccines and what barriers exist that prevent human viruses from
infecting animals and vice versa.
He is a member of the Advisory Committee on Genetic Modification
and the Veterinary Products Committee of the Veterinary Medicines
Directorate.
