The Division of Infectious Diseases faculty members have a wide variety of research interests and conduct research spanning basic science to clinical trials, in local, national, and international settings.

UCLA Division of Infectious Diseases Research.

Basic Laboratory Investigation

Basic laboratory investigation includes topics such as molecular mechanisms of viral evasion of the immune system and drug therapies, the role of the mucosal immune system in HIV infection, development of new small molecule viral inhibitors, "bench-to-bedside" development of vaccines for tuberculosis and HIV, and immune mechanisms of rejection after organ transplantation.

Clinical Investigation

Clinical investigation ranges from local studies of the Los Angeles urban area to multi-national studies. Our clinical research interests include the epidemiology and prevention of nosocomial infections, influenza treatment, intravascular device infections, infectious complications of organ transplantation, HIV treatment and prevention domestically and internationally (through the AIDS Clinical Trials Group, HIV Prevention Trials Network, and UCLA Program in Global Health), co-infections of HIV with hepatitis viruses, and prevention of sexually-transmitted infections in at-risk populations.

Please visit our physician and faculty page to find links to their recent publications.
