Infectious Disease Research Studies
Our infectious disease specialists are involved in collaborative research and turn results into treatment and care that directly benefits patient health.
Can our research in infectious disease help human suffering?
There are many types of germs that cause diseases that can easily spread from one person to another. Some of these diseases can cause global health threats. At Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, our infectious disease specialists are committed to research to help advance medicine.
Research in infectious diseases has led to the development of new antibiotics and vaccines. Through research, we can continue to discover new medicines, treatments and cures that can help children and adults in your community and around the world.
