The infectious diseases research group, led by Samir Gupta, MD, includes investigators from the Division of Infectious Diseases, the Division of Adolescent Medicine and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
For more than 50 years, our researchers have conducted investigator-initiated and commercially-funded clinical trials to improve the health and well-being of Indiana adults and adolescents with a variety of infections, particularly sexually transmitted infections. Our research group has conducted trials to determine the usefulness of new medicines and vaccines to treat and prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, to develop new diagnostic testing platforms for sexually transmitted infections, and to evaluate strategies to minimize long-term complications of HIV.
