NYU AIDS Institutional Training Grant

The program aims to provide in-depth training in basic research on AIDS and HIV infection to those with PhD and/or MD degrees who intend to follow academic careers in research laboratories and/or in clinical departments, and is run through the Sackler Institute. Medical Parasitology Department faculty Dr Allen Clarkson and Dr Salim Merali are involved with the grant and are working on characterizing unique aspects of the cell biology of Pneumocystis carinii, one of the most common opportunistic infections associated with AIDS, in an effort to find novel drug targets.

The program is designed for scientists who have completed their doctorates, for physicians who have received appropriate clinical training and are ready to embark on a career of research, and for MD/PhD's who have completed at least one year of post-graduate clinical experience.

To be eligible, either permanent residence in the United States or citizenship is required
