- This page provides a brief summary of fellowship opportunities organized by ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), and others.
In the Streptococcus Laboratory
ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø's Streptococcus Laboratory offers training to individuals from laboratories with a demonstrated need. Training opportunities include:
- Streptococcal and pneumococcal serology
- Antibiotic susceptibility testing
- DNA sequence-based strain surveillance
- Streptococcal strain characterization by polymerase chain reaction-based methods
Scientists with externally provided salaries are welcome to inquire concerning research and training projects in this laboratory. The laboratory has a history of several successful collaborations of this nature. Often researchers bring their own clinical isolate collections for study in ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø's laboratory in order to simultaneously:
- Answer questions concerning strain features
- Receive hands-on training
