Infection and Immunity in Global Health

We believe that as an interdisciplinary team, we can contribute to the pursuit of achieving well-being for all by integrating basic science and novel technologies into the global health agenda and thus address urgent global health challenges. To achieve this, we work with partners from the global south in large, interdisciplinary consortia.
