Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases have been principal threats to health throughout the history of man. The fight against deadly microbes relies largely on knowledge of the immune system, which plays a central role in diseases like arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.

Knowledge of the vast, diverse workings of the immune system – a booming field with URMC already in the vanguard – has the potential to create new approaches not yet imagined and to revolutionize the manufacture of vaccines.

Along with offering care for every variety of infectious disease, our New York State designated AIDS Center provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for persons with HIV infection.
