Training and Research Opportunities

Key points

  • Opportunities exist in many exciting areas concerning the molecular epidemiology and biology of pathogenic streptococci and pneumococci.
  • 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
