About the Center: VGTI was established in March 2001 with the opening of a new 60,000 sq. ft. facility on OHSU’s West Campus. The founding of the VGTI was based on the realization that progress in virology, molecular biology, immunology, animal models, pathology and clinical infectious diseases requires a high level of expertise and experience that is rarely found in a single investigator.
Activities: In alignment with the OHSU’s multifaceted public mission, VGTI strives for excellence by assembling a multidisciplinary team dedicated to developing research and teaching programs, maintaining expertise in and scientifically utilize NHP models of immunity and infection to respond to the increasingly serious infectious disease threats facing the people of Oregon, and beyond, including AIDS, chronic viral infection-associated diseases, newly emerging viral diseases, and infectious diseases of the elderly.
