As a research station, there are a lot of departments of research; the study of space viruses is one of those research departments! Congratulations doctor, you have been selected to study and treat various types of viruses, and create valuable vaccines. So grab your [[latex gloves]] and get your [[breath mask]] on and hole yourself up in [[Virology]], it is time to perform some disease research.

==Welcome Doctor==
Unlike Robert Nevile, you will not have a huge kick ass adventure while curing diseases. You will have a boring time, and likely fuck up constantly. Just make sure the [[Chemist]] or the [[Chief Medical Officer]] are around (and attentive) or you won't be able to cure uncommon diseases and might have an outbreak.
===[[Infections|Infecting]] Monkeys===
Primarily, this is your job. Find a batch of virus, inject a monkey, and record the results. Then cure the monkey.
If you're concerned about the monkeys and don't want to have a pen full of contagion conveniently sitting around, move a single monkey to one of your isolation rooms and treat/infect them there. You can also use this as an easy way to keep all your cures localized and in a single sample, giving you an expedient route to creating the vaccines on the Pandemic 2000.
Take your sample, put that in a beaker and load it up on the Pandemic in your main room. Congratulations. You've found a vaccine.
You can also see the cure to a disease using your Pandemic machine, and reproduce it if there is an active culture in the blood, for [[Traitor#Advanced_Methods_of_Murder| whatever reason.]]
===A MAN IN BRAZIL IS COUGHING!===
If you accidentally infect some one with a certain type of infectious virus, well, there is not much you can do except quarantine, treat, and ensure they aren't infectious before releasing them. Make sure only people that know [[Beyond the impossible|exactly what they're doing]] can enter your room. Warn people beforehand that you're conducting experiments and remember to vaccinate yourself once you research a disease.
===CREATE A PANDEMIC!===
You are able to create your own diseases with various symptoms, stats and bonuses. Read [[Infections#Advanced_Diseases|this]] for a guide!
==== Symbiosis ====
Viruses don't always have to be something to be avoided. With a bit of work you can engineer friendly viruses that come with a number of beneficial symptoms, such as eliminating the need to eat, or even one that lets the body regenerate its own health. Just make sure you clear it with the [[CMO]] and let the station know what your friendly virus does before releasing it, or you might find yourself at the end of a pitchfork.
==Typhoid Mary==
Being a [[traitor]] is where a dangerous [[jobs|job]] like this one really shines. Make sure you get the heads of staff to crack a virus crate open for you, or use a traitor item on it to pop it open yourself. Brain Rot seems to be the best way to screw over the crew, and if people wonder why you are in a spot, mumble something unintelligible. (even though a good virologist would've cured them self already).
Releasing a pandemic is a good way to cause chaos, creating a convenient cover for illicit activities. As an added bonus, then curing the disease and eradicating it from the station is a good way to get in the good graces of the crew, further protecting you from any cast suspicion. As always, protecting yourself from the disease is most important. Be conservative, however. If the crew finds out that EVERY disease has been somehow released, they'll be out for your blood. Releasing diseases when not a traitor is a great way to be banned!
