Research Centers
Our department also hosts two special research teams, the UVM Vaccine Testing Center (VTC) and the UVM Translational Global Infectious Diseases Research (TGIR) Center. The VTC performs human research to help develop novel candidate vaccines to prevent infectious diseases throughout the world, as well as advanced research on the human immune response to infection and vaccines.
The TGIR is a NIH-funded Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) award which supports the development of new research faculty in this field and strengthens the institutional support of research into globally-important infectious diseases.
