Clinical Research
The Section on Infectious Diseases along with its partners in the basic sciences, Clinical Microbiology, and Department of Pathology are actively engaged in clinical research across the translational research continuum.
We are actively engaged in the validation of diagnostics, epidemiology and outcomes of different infections, healthcare epidemiology, and antimicrobial stewardship. Some of our clinical trials include industry sponsored trials for vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics, as well as trials sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We are home to exceptional faciltities and include a dedicated infectious diseases clinical trials group to support our clinical trials efforts. We also use advanced analytics and data science to support our clinical trials recruitment and enrollment efforts.
