Clinical Research Rare & Neglected Diseases

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

A main purpose of this course is to engage upper level undergraduate and graduate students in clinical research in rare and neglected diseases. The focus for each semester is on neglected/infectious diseases with emphasis on worldwide eradication strategies. A major goal is to have Notre Dame students work on a clinical research project in class on some rare and/or neglected disease of major importance. We hope this class will also help the students become advocates for these diseases. The class is intended for juniors and seniors.
