Description
Research is the essence. The Institute integrates high-technology laboratory work on the biology of pathogens, their reservoirs and vectors with host genetics and immunology, clinical trials, epidemiology and community-based intervention. Present studies focus on malaria, haemorrhagic fevers and tissue worm infections. For work on highly contagious pathogens such as Lassa and Ebola viruses, the Institute is equipped with high-security laboratories of biosafety level 4.
