Dedicated To Finding Treatments And Cures For Infectious Diseases.

Research supported by the AIDS & Infectious Disease Science Center is aimed at finding new antibiotics, new treatments that use the body's own immune system instead of antibiotics, and methods for administering antibiotic medication into the body. These methods are especially important for third-world nations, where the numbers of infected people are high, but the resources for storing and distributing necessary treatments are scarce.
