Description
This fellowship opportunity is offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs in partnership with the U.S. Army Medical Research & Materiel Command (AMRMC), specifically at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) located at Fort Detrick, MD. The research focus is on advancing aerosol technology and understanding aerosolized biological agents. Key areas include:
- Development and characterization of new aerosol technologies and bioaerosol particle size distribution.
- Improving challenge dose delivery, deposition, and retention of aerosols in the lungs.
- Aerosol vaccination research.
- Animal model development to study pathogenesis, host immune responses, prophylaxis, and therapy related to diseases or intoxications caused by respiratory exposure to aerosolized biological agents.
This program supports both postdoctoral and senior researchers who aim to conduct self-directed research aligned with the mission of USAMRIID and AMRMC.
