Who We Are
The Public Health Preparedness for Infectious Diseases (PHPID) initiative is one of 10 cross-disciplinary research partnerships created in 2005 as part of a charge from the university's Office of Academic Programs. PHPID is a collaboration of six colleges with a mission of protecting the public from infections. More than 125 faculty across these colleges contribute to this initiative.
What We Do
Recent threats of disease pandemics, bioterrorism, food-borne illnesses, and natural disasters underscore the importance of public health preparedness for the United States. PHPID faculty translate scientific discoveries into clinical applications, detect the presence of emerging infectious diseases within communities, prevent human infection from zoonotic organisms, address food safety issues, and train professionals to protect the public.
