EXPANDING FUNDAMENTAL IMMUNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND TRANSLATING IT INTO DISCOVERIES THAT IMPROVE HUMAN AND ANIMAL HEALTH ON A GLOBAL SCALE

Established in 2015, the Center for Vaccines and Immunology (CVI) provides an environment for world-class research and training in immunology. The CVI is advancing fundamental and translational immunological knowledge to develop new vaccines and therapies for infectious diseases and other immunity-related diseases and syndromes.

 

Providing an environment for world-class immunology research

Center for Vaccines and Immunology: 1) Train the next generation of scientists and visionaries. 2) Advance our understanding of the host immune response. 3) Partner and enable global research, training, and health. 4) Develop new vaccines and therapies. 5) Contribute to fundamental immunological knowledge.
