Building upon a legacy of successfully launched research careers, 92% (23/25) of our fellows have received a five-year career award (e.g., NIH research career development (K) award, BWF Career Award for Medical Scientists) when pursued to completion since Dr. David L. Thomas was named Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases in 2005. This tradition of commitment to early stage investigators has continued with Dr. Amita Gupta now as Division Director.
