Despite progress, there is still a great need for infectious disease control worldwide.

Infectious diseases, also known as communicable diseases, are caused by microorganisms that can spread from one person to another both directly and indirectly.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic presents a significant scientific and global health challenge, affecting all people and areas of life.

HIV

Despite advancements, approximately 38 million people globally continue to live with HIV. Ongoing research is important for addressing this virus.

CMV

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that often goes unnoticed. Nearly 1 in 3 children get it by age 5, and over half of adults have it by age 40. Continued research is important for understanding and managing CMV.

HPV

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are common sexually transmitted infections. Over 80% of sexually active individuals will acquire at least one HPV infection by age 45.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.
