Centre for Infectious Disease Research

Infections pose a considerable threat to human health. New pathogens are constantly discovered, well-known microbes continue to cause problems by changes in transmission, pathogenesis and development of resistance to antimicrobial drugs. This is linked to a lack of clinically relevant diagnostics, effective treatment options and protective vaccines

The Centre for Infectious Disease Research (CID)  will cover biologically relevant infectious disease research with a focus on

  • Antimicrobial resistance and drug development
  • Diagnostics
  • Epidemiology and transmission
  • Pathogenesis
