The LaMontagne Center for Infectious Disease is the first interdisciplinary research center on a Tier One research university campus that aims to bridge the gap between basic and translational research into microbial and viral pathogenesis.
The LaMontagne Center consists of members from four distinct areas within the University: (1) The Cockrell School of Engineering, (2) The Dell Medical School, (3) The College of Natural Sciences, and (4) The School of Pharmacy.
Members bring expertise and research in over 30 different diseases including Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Arthritis, and Cystic Fibrosis.
