Strategic Research
Combating Infectious Disease
A project funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Program brought together campus basic scientists and clinical infectious disease and population health faculty to focus on translating new discoveries into clinical advances aimed at reducing the threat of infectious disease. The project created the Wisconsin Center for Infectious Disease (WisCID) to investigate microbiological areas of public health importance and translate the research findings into new treatments and preventive measures in response to the alarming rise of drug-resistant infections.
