Significant new results from our vibrant research programs have led to growth in research funding and expanding facilities. A major focus of our work is on developing vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tools for infectious diseases such as AIDS, Lyme disease, malaria and tuberculosis. Our infectious disease research will be significantly augmented by the new Regional Biosafety Laboratory as well as expanding local and national collaborations.

The TNPRC also has strong programs in regenerative medicine that utilize vector-based gene therapies and stem cell-based interventions for genetic and acquired diseases.

The TNPRC has been responsible for many important scientific discoveries in its over-forty year history. Our scientists have been honored with prestigious professional awards and our facility has been given many research awards.
