Institute for the Study of Host-Pathogen Systems (iSHPS)

The Institute for the Study of Host Pathogen Systems (iSHPS) synergizes infectious disease research among an interdisciplinary group of faculty across the UTHSC enterprise. 

Founded in 2017, iSHPS supports multi-disciplinary research in infectious diseases at the host-pathogen interface. We are dedicated to investigating mechanisms of infections and developing new approaches and treatments. We are uniquely positioned with a broad interdisciplinary team and access to the UTHSC Regional Biocontainment Laboratory with biohazard safety level-3 facilities, one of only 12 in the United States.
