Research and Clinical Interests
Dr. Flomenberg's primary research interests and clinical interests have been in studying infections in bone marrow transplant recipients. She has a basic research lab devoted to the study of the pathogenesis of viral infections, with a specific focus on antiviral T cell responses. She also directs the Infection Control Program at TJUH
