Description
This division is oriented around the study of infectious disease and genomic epidemiology. Members of the division direct Hospital Epidemiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the VA Maryland Healthcare System. The research interests of the group are diverse, including infectious disease, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and preventing both cervical cancer and healthcare-associated infections. Their research projects are multidisciplinary involving collaborators in microbiology, genetics, health informatics, economics, mathematical modeling and statistics. The group collaborates internationally including recent projects based in Switzerland, Mali and Brazil.
Division members teach medical and graduate student courses and mentor pre-doctoral students, MPH students, post-doctoral fellows and medical and preventive medicine residents. Division members have been successful in obtaining career development and research grants including active funding from the Veterans Administration (VA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Agency for Healthcare Research on Quality (AHRQ). We provide opportunities for trainees to conduct mentored research and receive advanced training in clinical research skills.
We are currently in the process of greatly expanding our group to include members of the Institute for Genome Sciences. The Institute for Genome Sciences is a national leader in The Human Microbiome project and the study of metagenomics or the characterization of entire microbial communities. The marriage of these individually productive groups will further the divisions ability to conduct important multidisciplinary research on infectious diseases and genomic epidemiology.
