Elizabeth R. Griffin
Research Foundation Internship

The Elizabeth R. Griffin Research Foundation offers an internship to an undergraduate at Agnes Scott College each year. The intern works with Dr. Julia Hilliard at the National B Virus Resource Center at Georgia State University. The internship was formed in memory of Elizabeth R. Griffin to raise awareness of zoonotic diseases and research safety.

The intern works in the National B Virus Resource Center, rotating through a variety of essential tasks performed at the Center. The major goal of the center is to identify zoonotic diseases transmitted from nonhuman primates to humans, with particular emphasis of a virus which is normally present in macaque monkeys.
