Molecular Epidemiology Education and Training Programs

The Interdisciplinary Training Program in Infectious Disease (IPID) provided support for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training at the interface of epidemiology, microbiology, complex systems, mathematics, statistics, and medicine. This training is essential to identify new, more effective strategies to prevent the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, predict the spread of infectious agents and identify populations at high risk of disease, compare alternative prevention strategies for pandemic diseases such as influenza and new emerging infections, and explore how human microbiota interacts with the host to mediate risk of various diseases.
