We have 50 full-time faculty members, and our division includes basic, translational, clinical and epidemiological research programs, inpatient and ambulatory clinical services at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and the ID fellowship Training Program.

Our main laboratory research projects focus on antibiotic and antifungal drug development, bacterial pathogenesis, HIV and other retroviruses, influenza, malaria/babesia, and tuberculosis. Major clinical research projects investigate antimicrobial drug resistance, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, hospital epidemiology/infection control, human papillomavirus (HPV), respiratory viruses, and transplantation/oncology ID. Furthermore, in collaboration with the Center for Global Health, we have clinical, research and training programs in Brazil, Haiti, and Tanzania, with full-time faculty and fellows onsite.
