Overview
The Division of Molecular Immunology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has the goal of developing a world-class research center in Molecular Immunology, with broad horizontal links across divisional, organ system, disease process, and methodological divides, and with the clear intent of pursuing translational research. As such, Molecular Immunology is integral to ongoing planning for an Immunology Matrix at Cincinnati Children's. The division is also integrally involved in the recently launched Graduate Program in Immunobiology, of which Dr. Karp is currently the Associate Director. The initial research focus of the division is, and will be, on the molecular mechanisms underlying innate immunity and the interface between innate and adaptive immunity. Faculty recruitment continues.
