Centers

CMMIDCenter for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Diseases (CMMID)
Our mission is to employ animal models to better understand the disease processes that impact both humans and domesticated species. A sound basic understanding of pathogens will enable us to better design newer intervention strategies, such as genetically-altered vaccines, biological, and immunomodulation. Learn more...


CeCO Center for Comparative Oncology (CeCO)
Chartered in 2002, CeCO is an academic center for basic and clinical research on cancer. The Center unites a variety of cancer research programs on the Virginia Tech campus. The mission of CeCO is to study the development of cancer in animals and in people, to develop new ways to diagnose cancer and to find new treatments to control and cure it. Learn more...
