Infectious Disease Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Program (ID IGEP)
The Infectious Disease (ID) interdisciplinary graduate education program (IGEP) will train a new generation of interdisciplinary infectious disease scholars. The ID program aims to advance knowledge of the biology of pathogens, vectors, and hosts, the science of prevention and treatment, as well as the environmental, social, and behavioral aspects of public health. The program will train PhD students that select to work in a home laboratory from the over 100 faculty members in six colleges and 31 departments affiliated with the Center for Emerging, Zoonotic, and Arthropod-borne Pathogens (CeZAP).
Students participating in the ID IGEP will learn to:
-
Tackle societal challenges related to infectious disease by carrying out research in an environment that integrates multiple diverse disciplines and points of view
-
Master technical skills necessary to solve complex ID research questions in a transdisciplinary manner
-
Excel in coursework, while learning to apply strategies to predict and circumvent the risk of disease emergence affecting humans, animals and plants
-
Communicate their research effectively to others outside of their field of study
-
Participate as a member of a cross-campus ID community through activities such as poster sessions, research seminars, and symposia that foster professional development
-
Partner with agencies, industry, and the public to address ID issues beyond Virginia Tech
To learn more, including information on participating faculty members, areas of research focus, and the application process, please visit our website:
