Welcome to PHRI
As today’s biomedical advances occur at a dizzying pace, the Public Health Research Institute, a center of the Institute for Infectious & Inflammatory Diseases (i3D) at New Jersey Medical School, pursues its research mission to help eliminate the infectious diseases spreading across the planet.
Founded in 1942 in New York City by legendary Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, PHRI has been home to seminal discoveries in biomedical sciences. Hosted in the ICPH building in Newark, NJ, since 2002, PHRI became part of the New Jersey Medical School in 2006 and joined Rutgers University in 2013.
For almost 80 years, PHRI has fostered a culture of international talent, a collaborative environment, and the mentoring of young scientists. Today, PHRI remains committed to the pursuit of excellence in research and learning.
PHRI NEWS & EVENTS

08-06-24 Tuberculosis granuloma imaging study from Selvakumar Subbian, Lanbo Shi and Sanjay Tyagi laboratories was selected for the cover of The Journal of Immunology August 15 Issue. Granulomas form as infected cells secrete cytokines to attract more immune cells to surround and isolate the site of infection. Colors of the rendered cells display density of different immune cell types in a granuloma based on their cytokine mRNA expression.
07-08-24 On June 4th, PHRI organized the 2024 PHRI Art Show, where members of PHRI and Rutgers’ Department of Microbiology, Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry, displayed their artwork, such as photographs, paintings and textile art. Please visit the PHRI Art Show page, to see images of the 2024 Art Show.
