Infectious illnesses pose significant threats to communities across both industrialized and developing nations. Our program on infectious diseases explores the pathogens responsible for human and animal illnesses, along with host immune responses. This interdisciplinary initiative combines bacteriology, virology, immunology, and molecular biology. Students examine host-microbe interactions, infection mechanisms, and disease pathogenesis. These insights contribute to creating preventive measures and treatments, including antimicrobial drugs, antivirals, and immunization solutions.
