Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders in Infectious Disease Research

In an era of emerging pathogens, drug-resistant microbes, and evolving vaccine challenges, the T32 Interdisciplinary Program in Microbe-Host Biology at The Ohio State University is preparing the next generation of scientists to lead the charge. Anchored by a strong partnership between the IDI and the College of Medicine, this NIH-supported program offers a dynamic, collaborative environment focused on host-pathogen biology, cutting-edge research, and real-world impact.

Program Highlights:

• NIH-funded training in microbe-host interactions
• Integration with Ohio State’s Biomedical Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, and Microbiology programs
• Focused, interdisciplinary training in viral pathogens, host defense, and microbial communities
• Blending clinical and basic sciences with expert mentorship from a talented, accomplished team of preceptors
• Access to a supportive research network and on-going career development
• Immersive experience with a commitment to responsible research, and scientific excellence
