The clinical virology faculty provides diagnostic services to detect and monitor viral infections and determine the immune response to viral antigen exposure. Clinicians at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine–affiliated sites use data from this specialty to diagnose viral infections, assess responses to antiviral therapy, and determine immune status to viral pathogens.
Education
Our specialty provides a two-week rotation for Pathology residents and Infectious Disease fellows as part of their eight-week clinical microbiology rotation. The rotation enables the trainees to become familiar with major aspects of clinical virology.
Research
Our division provides translational research opportunities for residents and infectious disease fellows.
Patient Care
Through Feinberg-affiliated clinical sites and facilities, our faculty members provide diagnostic services for viral diseases, support patient care and serve as vital consultants to our physicians on viral tests.
