Training Program in Emerging Infectious Diseases
Training Sites:
- University of Pennsylvania
Predoctoral
A new NIH funded training grant has been awarded to the microbiology program
to support students and postdoctoral fellows who work in labs that study emerging
infectious diseases. Topics include emerging viruses (Ebola, Junin, Dengue
and others), bacteria (cholera, MRSA), and parasites (malaria, Chagas) . New
BSL3 containment facilities are available, and many or our trainers are associated
with the Middle Atlantic Regional Center for Excellence in Emerging Infectious
Diseases and Biodefense.
To be trainees on this grant, students must be admitted to candidacy for the
Ph.D. degree through the biomedical graduate studies program at U. Penn. Inquiries
and requests for application forms can be sent to:
