At NYU Langone’s Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, we believe that research is the engine that drives new medical advances to protect and restore public health locally and globally. Research is an important part of our mission, and our goal is to translate scientific research into innovative ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases.

Our research activities cover the entire span of biomedical discovery—from preclinical laboratory research using animal models, to clinical studies and clinical trials that translate into clinical practice. We also conduct research on healthcare policy, education, and behavior.

We are dedicated to training the next generation of research leaders in the field of infectious diseases and immunology. Important research initiatives within our division include the Vaccine Center, NYU Langone Molecular Outbreak Program, Special Pathogens Program at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, and hepatitis C elimination studies, as well as research on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, hepatitis B, influenza, universal flu vaccine, flaviviruses, and yellow fever virus vaccines.
