Steven B. Bradfute, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the UNM Center for Global Health and Department of Internal Medicine.  Dr. Bradfute received his Ph.D. in Immunology from Baylor College of Medicine (2005) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), where he studied immune responses to hemorrhagic fever viruses, including the filoviruses (ebolaviruses, marburgviruses, and cuevaviruses).  While continuing to study filoviruses, Dr. Bradfute has expanded his work to include other emerging and re-emerging viral pathogens, such as hantaviruses, equine encephalitis viruses, Zika virus, and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.  As there are few treatments or vaccines available for many of these viruses, the Bradfute lab studies immunology, therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccine development for these important pathogens.
