VMRCVM
Center
for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Diseases (CMMID)
Our mission is to employ animal models to better understand the disease processes that impact both humans and
domesticated species. A sound basic understanding of pathogens will enable us to better design newer intervention
strategies, such as genetically-altered vaccines, biological, and immunomodulation.

Macromolecular Interfaces with Life Sciences (MILES) Program
The MILES-IGERT is a graduate education and multidisciplinary team research program at Virginia Tech that
is developing new knowledge of oxidative processes in biological and macromolecular systems. The program
bridges the gap between traditional macromolecular science and biological disciplines, yielding important
advances in nutrition, biomedical science and engineering, food biochemistry and functionality, and sustainable
polymeric materials from bio-derived precursors. Learn more...
Aquatic Medicine Program
The Aquatic Medicine Program at the VMRCVM serves as a
resource and aquatic animal facility for faculty and graduate students. The program focuses on the diseases,
diagnosis, pathology, immunology, parasitology and bacteriology of both vertebrate and invertebrate aquatic
organisms. Learn more...
