The Nutrition/Infection Unit is engaged in research in nutrition and infectious diseases in the U.S. and around the world in locations such as Argentina, India, Kenya, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Our research addresses nutritional and metabolic aspects of HIV/AIDS with and without drug abuse, as well as international health issues such as diarrheal diseases and growth faltering. Our emphasis on international health has been strengthened with the establishment in 2006 of the Center for Global Health Research. The Nutrition/Infection Unit is also home to TNC-CDAAR, the Tufts University Nutrition Collaborative-Center for Drug Abuse and AIDS Research. TNC represents a partnership between Tufts, Brown and Johns Hopkins, and their affiliated hospitals. The purpose of a CDAAR is to “enhance basic, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, and applied research on drug abuse and HIV infection through the support of shared resources.” Learn more about the Nutrition/Infection Division.
