RESEARCHOur Research specialization includes, but is not limited to:

Host-pathogen interactions

How microbes or viruses sustain themselves within host organisms on a molecular, cellular, organismal or population level

Immunology and host defense

Assisting the nonspecific defenses of the host, the immune system provides additional defensive measures by focusing on and reacting to the highly specific molecular structures of antigens

Clinical studies in patients with HIV/AIDS

HIV and AIDS clinical trials help researchers find better ways to prevent, detect, or treat HIV and AIDS.

Vaccine development

Vaccines contain tiny fragments of the disease-causing organism or the blueprints for making the tiny fragments. They also contain other ingredients to keep the vaccine safe and effective.

Education and TrainingEducation and Training Has Been the Cornerstone of the Lundquist Institute Since its Founding in 1952

The Division of Infectious Diseases and HIV Medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center offers diverse educational programs catering to students at various stages. These programs span from high school summer research training to graduate research, clinical fellows, and postdoctoral scholars. Beyond education, our commitment extends to creating a nurturing atmosphere that values inclusivity, safety, and academic growth. By fostering innovation and educational prowess, we shape the next generation of leaders in infectious disease research and clinical education, inspiring breakthroughs in basic, translational, and clinical research.
