Institute of Human Virology - IHV
Description
About IHV
The Institute of Human Virology is the first center in the United States -- perhaps the world -- to combine the disciplines of basic research, epidemiology and clinical research in a concerted effort to speed the discovery of diagnostics and therapeutics for a wide variety of chronic and deadly viral and immune disorders - most notably the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Formed in 1996 as a partnership between the State of Maryland, the City of Baltimore, the University System of Maryland and the University of Maryland Medical System, the IHV is a center of the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute and is home to some of the most globally-recognized and world-renowned experts in all of virology.
The Institute is unique in that from its birth it was conceived not just as a large laboratory, basic research institute or patient care facility. Rather it is all of the above, housed in a 100,000-square-foot building located in the center of Baltimore.
