Hacettepe Üniversitesi'nin kurulduğu 1967 yılından sonra Prof. Dr. Şemsettin Ustaçelebi tarafından oluşturulan Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalı Viroloji Laboratuvarının 2008 yılından sonraki yöneticisi Prof. Dr. Dürdal Us olmuştur. 2018 yılından itibaren laboratuvar yöneticiliğini Prof. Dr. Ahmet Pınar yürütmektedir. Tıbbi Viroloji yandal eğitimi de verilmiş olan laboratuvarımızda vektör kaynaklı virüsler, kemirgen kaynaklı virüsler, nörolojik hastalıklara neden olan virüsler ve solunum yolu virüslerine yönelik bilimsel araştırmalar yürütmektedir. Çalışmalar, moleküler ve serolojik tanı, vektör/rezervuar-konak etkileşimi, patojenlerin epidemiyolojisi ve ekolojisi, yeni virusların tanımlaması ve moleküler evrim üzerinde yoğunlaşmaktadır. Laboratuvarımızda Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Uzmanlık Eğitiminin Viroloji kısmı da verilmektedir.
