Medical College of Wisconsin Center for Infectious Disease Research Shared Resources

The mission of the Center for Infectious Disease Research (CIDR) is to enhance research efforts that focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms of host-microbe interactions and pathogenesis related to infection with all types of microorganisms, viruses, fungi or parasites. These efforts also include programs to define microbial and host factors contributing to disease resistance or susceptibility, host recognition of foreign materials and the innate and adaptive immune responses following exposure to infectious organisms.
