U.S.-India Joint Research Training Program
Research Training in Global Infectious Diseases
The Global Infectious Diseases Training Grant on Research on Intracellular
Pathogens is aimed at enhancing research and training on intracellular pathogens
and the diseases they cause, with an emphasis on Malaria, leishmaniasis, and
Tuberculosis through advanced training opportunities for Ph.D.
students and postdoctoral scientists, specialized workshops, and
video lectures. To read about our most recent workshop,
conducted in January 2008 in Hyderabad, click
