Dr. Aaron Carlin received his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego. After graduation, he joined the Physician Scientist Training Program at UCSD, completing his Residency in Internal Medicine and Chief Fellowship in Infectious Diseases. He subsequently joined the Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases at UCSD. In addition to attending on the Solid Organ Transplant and Hematology/Oncology Infectious Disease services, Dr. Carlin conducts basic and translational research that utilizes cutting-edge molecular techniques to understand the mechanisms of emerging and reemerging pathogens, such as Zika virus, Dengue virus, and SARS-CoV-2 Coccidioides, that cause disease in humans. His research focuses on identifying mechanisms of anti-viral transcriptional programs regulated by myeloid cells and how pathogenic viruses subvert host responses to cause human disease. Ultimately, Dr. Carlin aims to exploit a detailed understanding of host-viral interactions to understand microorganisms that cause human disease and to develop new methods for diagnosing infectious diseases and identifying targets for new antimicrobials.
