Mission: **As of October 1,2018 CIDR has joined with Seattle Children Hospital**Our mission is to make transformative scientific advancements that lead to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
Results: **As of October 1,2018 CIDR has joined with Seattle Children Hospital**Some of our more notable achievements include: discovering RNA editing; identifying agents capable of killing TB; developing a malaria vaccine candidate currently in human clinical trials; sequencing 3 parasite genomes; and creating a revolutionary vaccine candidate for HIV/AIDS. We are proud of our progress. But for the 14 million people who died last year from these diseases, progress was not enough. Just as was the case 40 years ago, there are still no vaccines to prevent or drugs to treat most of these infectious diseases. This is not only tragic; it is unjust.
Geographic areas served: From humble beginnings as a small laboratory in Issaquah, Washington with an initial staff of five, the Center for Infectious Disease Research has become the world's largest center focused solely on infectious disease research.
Programs: **As of October 1,2018 CIDR has joined with Seattle Children Hospital**Throughout our 40-year history, the work performed at the Center has contributed to numerous breakthroughs advancing the science of vaccine, drug, and diagnostic discovery. Yet challenges still exist in developing effective, accessible, and reliable interventions. Success will require high-impact collaboration, innovative approaches, and cutting-edge technology, all of which are components of systems biology. Our singular focus on infectious diseases and integration of systems biology uniquely positions us as a leader in the fight against these pathogens. Our three tenets help focus our scope - on the people who are affected by, and fighting these diseases; on the cutting edge science developing future interventions; and on the hope derived from our research for the potentiality of global health.
