4. Maternal and Pediatric Infectious Disease Branch
[used to be PAMA]
• The MPIDB’s original mission was to support and conduct domestic
and international research related to the epidemiology, diagnosis,
clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, transmission, treatment, and
prevention of HIV infection and its complications in infants, children,
adolescents, and women (pregnant and non-pregnant). As the HIV
epidemic has evolved in the United States and globally, the branch’s
research reflects these changes and addresses important research
opportunities and gaps as they arise. The branch now also funds
research related to other infectious pathogens in HIV-infected and -
uninfected populations. The branch supports and conducts research
into the epidemiology, natural history, pathogenesis, transmission,
treatment, and prevention of other important infectious diseases,
including congenital infections such as cytomegalovirus and
toxoplasmosis; tropical diseases specifically affecting children and
pregnant women; and vaccine-preventable disease in infants, children,
adolescents, and women. These include research training programs,
clinical trials and investigator initiated research on these issues.
