Research

The links below include a subset of active research projects being conducted in CIHMID labs. Some of these projects may be form the basis for potential applications to the CIHMID Postdoctoral Training Program, although postdoctoral applicants are not required to choose a project from this list. Postdoctoral applicants may proposed novel projects that are not on this list, to be performed in collaboration with potential host labs. Applicants to the postdoctoral program must consult with their prospective collaborating labs before submitting an application.

This page also includes a list of potential faculty mentors for the Microbial Friends and Foes (MFF) research experience for non-Cornell undergraduate students and the CIHMID Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) for Cornell students.
