For the past 15 years, a new infectious disease has been discovered nearly every year, with an outbreak reported on nearly every continent. These threats of pandemic diseases, food-borne illnesses, climate change, and global trade and transit underscore the importance of addressing the complexity of infectious diseases and public health preparedness. It requires more than collaboration.
Through innovative alliances on campus and in the private sector, leaders in infectious diseases research help the Institute solve problems at a local, state, national and global level. Work with us to help advance discoveries and tackle the problems yet to be solved.
