A Message from our Director, Dr. Eric Skaar:Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As we approach the end of one of the most challenging years in recent memory, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our research community for your dedication and flexibility over the last 12 months. Despite these challenges, you have remained committed to discovery, education, and most importantly each other. Although the last year has been difficult, there are bright signs ahead with the promise of a vaccine on the horizon and hopefully the return to some level of normalcy. In addition, the establishment of Dr. Coogan as a permanent Chair for our department is outstanding news and promises continued growth of our research enterprise for the foreseeable future.
In the coming year we will continue to recruit new faculty to grow our Division, expand the modernization of our research facilities, continue work to improve our educational curriculum, and strengthen our efforts to ensure that our environment is diverse and inclusive. These efforts will be supported by our always outstanding administrative team. The future is bright for the Division of Molecular Pathogenesis and the Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology.
Thank you to everyone for being part of this fantastic Division. On behalf of myself, my family, and my lab, Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Eric

Increased threat of cyberattacks
VUMC Enterprise Cybersecurity (VEC) has received credible intelligence regarding the potential for an increased threat of cyberattacks in the coming days that are specifically directed toward the U.S. health care sector.
In response to these threats, and based on recommendations from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), VUMC is taking additional steps to block access to non-VUMC/non-VU personal email accounts from the VUMC network.

Lab Coat Drop Off!With the opening up of the research facilities, the department has a lab coat drop off outside of MCN CC3314. There is a yellow laundry bag that they can be placed in. Labs have to make sure that their lab coats are clearly marked for them to be returned. It takes 3-4 weeks for lab coats to be laundered and returned by the laundry service. Pick up is in MCN C-3314 just inside the door.
