The program will provide trainees with multiple opportunities for research activities in the broad areas listed below and will foster the development of knowledge, competence, skills, professional attitudes, and experience required for successful academic careers.

A diverse group of trainers support the program and offer training opportunities in the following research areas:

• Immunology, immune regulation, and transplant tolerance
• Cellular and molecular mechanisms including cellular therapies and regenerative medicine
• Translational Research via Large Animal models

This training program is supported through a T32 training grant from NIH, NIAID(T32 AI125231).
