Research
Research is a key component of the MSU Infectious Disease Fellowship. All teaching faculty are involved in research and all fellows are matched with a faculty preceptor to complete their required research project. Fellows spend approximately 10% of their first training year and 30% of their second year engaged in a research project.
MSU - College of Human Medicine's Department of Medicine
The MSU Infectious Disease Fellowship is housed within the Department of Medicine. The Department has a vibrant research program which is noted for its high level of external funding per faculty and its interdisciplinary nature. Basic bench research, clinical research and translational research are included in the Department’s diverse portfolio. Nanomedicine, vascular biology, cardiovascular science, clinical trials, pharmacokinetics, clinical epidemiology, and medical education are just a few of the topics under active investigation. Most investigators work closely with other MSU scientists in areas including engineering, nutrition, food safety, veterinary medicine, and the health sciences colleges. Departmental faculty serve as Principal Investigators on grants from the NIH, OSHA, the CDC, HRSA, and several foundation-funded projects.
