Welcome to Cambridge Infectious Diseases

Cambridge Infectious Diseases is a multidisciplinary community of researchers in and around the University of Cambridge, UK. It represents a leading international centre for research and teaching that focuses on infectious diseases and the impact these have on national and international health and quality of life.

Cambridge Infectious Diseases was recently awarded Strategic Initiative status by the University. This will provide resources to further the Initiative’s goals of developing new research programmes relating to global health, fostering overseas links, and forging stronger partnerships between Cambridge researchers. “Investing in CID as a strategic initiative will provide a platform and focus for world class infectious disease research at the University”, said Lynn Gladden, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research.
