membership directory WORKING TOGETHER TO FIGHT INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Biologists. Epidemiologists. Geographers. Biostatisticians. Mathematicians. Physicians. Veterinarians. The Emerging Pathogens Institute could not be the same leader of infectious disease research without its varied membership, which spans 13 different colleges and seven units across the University of Florida campus. With over 300 distinguished faculty members, the EPI embodies a collaborative spirit.
