Seattle's Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases does much more than facilitate infectious disease research. CERID's leadership, staff, and mission build a foundation of collaboration to better combat growing public health concerns. 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, University of Washington 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.
