Wolfgang Karl "Bill" Joklik (November 16, 1926 โ€“ July 7, 2019) was a virologist and James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Duke University,[1] from which he retired in 1993 after 25 years chairing the department.[2] In 1981, he founded the American Society for Virology, the first scientific society specifically for virologists,[3] and served a two-year term as its founding president.[4] In the same year, he was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences.[2] He has been described as "one of the earliest molecular virologists" and is best known for his research on poxviruses and reoviruses, and for work on interferon proteins.[1]
