The ID division has been awarded a $4.2 M T32 training grant from NIAID. The Training Program, which has had NIH support for the past 35 years, integrates faculty from five departments: Medicine, Pediatrics, Molecular Microbiology, Immunology & Pathology and OB/GYN. The program provides training to MD, PhD and MD/PhD postdoctoral fellows, and to PhD and MD/PhD students, in disciplines related to pathogenesis and host defense in infectious diseases. The research performed is medically relevant and in some cases translational.
