University of Pittsburgh Training Program in Antimicrobial Resistance (T32)
T32AI138954
05/16/2019 – 04/30/2024
To establish the University of Pittsburgh Training Program in Antimicrobial Resistance, a multidisciplinary training program for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. The program will focus on translational science with the goal of having our trainees transition to postdoctoral fellowships or independent research careers. We plan to use this T32 to produce the next generation of scientists with the training, creativity, and resources to be future leaders in the critical field of antimicrobial resistance.

South Africa-Pittsburgh Public Health Genomic Epidemiology Research Training Program (SAPPHGenE)
D43TW011255
03/26/2019 – 12/31/2023
A public health genomic epidemiology research training program in South Africa in the areas of bacterial pneumonia, invasive bacterial diseases, and fungal infections. This will be accomplished by an expert, multidisciplinary team of research mentors at the University of Pittsburgh, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in Johannesburg, South Africa. The ultimate goal of the program is to prevent and control these diseases, some of which are vaccine preventable and all which are major causes of morbidity and mortality in South Africa and globally
