The core AID research themes are bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal infectious diseases afflicting humans.
This microbial pathogenesis research effort brings together basic science and clinical research.
The University of Queensland and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute currently has strengths in these areas of research.
The production and testing of novel diagnostics, and the development of therapeutics and vaccines to prevent and treat infectious diseases, will be translational outcomes.
With the establishment of AID, we have invested in research capacity in the following areas:
- Emerging infectious diseases
- Respiratory polymicrobial infections
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Antimicrobial resistance
- Diagnostics
- Clinical genomics
- Therapeutic development
- Vaccine development
A pledge to AID goes directly into the research of issues that impact the lives of many people and their families.
