Overview
The Emerging Pathogens Core provides services to clinical, translational, and basic investigators where robust technology-based infrastructure is essential to translate research focused on emerging pathogens to better health outcomes. These services will include i) culturing pathogens and their variants, ii) developing cellular and small animal models that serve as tools to study human disease, iii) testing the efficacy of novel therapeutics, and iv) developing newly formulated vaccines and monitoring immunologic response.
