Research

The faculty members in infectious diseases and geographic medicine have broadly based research programs that allow the fellows to choose from a wide range of projects in several investigative areas. The research programs are amply funded from a variety of extramural sources, including the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The research facilities at both Stanford University Medical Center and the VA Palo Alto Health Care System are considerable and expose the trainee to state-of-the-art research techniques. The division also has an active NIH-funded training grant.
