Pathogens know no borders.

The lectures include presentations of patients\, pathology\, diagnosis\, and therapy in the context of major diseases and current research. All clinicians\, trainees including fellows\, medical students\, Ph.D. students\, and other healthcare and research professionals are welcome to attend. \n\nFor more information go to 'https://demystifyingmedicine.od.nih.gov/'>https://demystifyingmedicine.od.nih.gov X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n\n
