Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division
Microbial Pathogenesis
VIDD researchers are interested in defining the mechanisms by which pathogens infect the human host, evade the immune system and successfully cause disease. This multi-disciplinary field includes cell biology, immunology, epidemiology, microbiology and molecular biology. Examples of current microbial pathogenesis research include development of anti-fungal drugs, design of bacterial vaginosis detection assays and elucidation of herpesvirus pathogenesis.
