Program Description
The Microbial Pathogenesis Program is seeking to expand and strengthen our research in the fields of bacterial and viral pathogenesis. We are particularly interested in investigators who are developing new approaches and insights into the pathogenetic mechanisms used by microbes to establish chronic infection and to evade host defenses, as well as into the mechanisms leading to cell and tissue damage and the microbial and cellular gene functions involved in these processes.

The program complements our existing strength in this area represented by of investigators with similar interests in the Departments of Microbiology, Medicine, Parasitology and Pathology. It occupies one floor adjacent to the Medicine/Infectious Disease Program, to facilitate interactions with scientists that are part of this related program. We envisage recruiting 4-5 faculty. Recruitment for this program is led by Dr. Claudio Basilico.
