Center for Infectious Disease Research

The Center for Infectious Disease Research is the largest, independent, non-profit research institute in the U.S. focused solely on the world's most devastating infectious diseases. We are dedicated to reducing human suffering and saving lives by converting knowledge into solutions. Our infectious disease research is the foundation for new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics that benefit those who need our help most: the 14 million who will otherwise die each year from infectious diseases. The Center for Infectious Disease Research conducts targeted research leading to the prevention, diagnosis and cure of global infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, as well as lesser known diseases such as African sleeping sickness and Chagas' disease. Mission:?Imagine a world free from infectious disease. We do.
