Dr. Trung Hoang Minh Pham is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University. The Pham lab brings together immunology, tissue biology, microbiology, and genetics to study innate immunity and infection-induced tissue physiological adaptations. Their goal is to uncover mechanisms underlying tissue immunity and homeostasis that can be harnessed to eradicate infections, promote tissue resilience, and restore health after an infectious attack.
