Program director Nigel Yarlett, PhD, has developed an affiliation of national and international collaborators, providing opportunities for research with other laboratories around the world.
Research is funded and supported by the National Institutes of Health, Drugs for Neglected Disease Initiative, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The program is supported by fully equipped laboratory facilities for biochemistry and molecular biology, including a new state-of-the-art DNA sequencing facility, pathogen-handling suite, HPLC coupled mass spectrophotometry, and advanced spectrophotometric analysis.
