Emerging and devastating diseases like SARS, Zika Virus, and newly emerging influenza strains require rapid study and cross-disciplinary collaboration to prevent and manage new epidemics. CERID experts are equipped with the knowledge, skills and equipment to make a difference.

Our Mission

Facilitate research to identify, diagnose, prevent and treat infectious diseases in response to major public health concerns. 

Already experts in their respective fields of immunology, pathogenesis, drug discovery, translational research and more, CERID researchers are poised to continue making great strides in our understanding of not only the pathogens and agents that cause these ongoing epidemics, but also their biology, transmission mechanisms and exploitable vulnerabilities.

"Infections are a leading cause of human suffering" - David Koelle, MD
