Understanding infectious diseases to better control them
The CIRI (Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie) brings together the scientific and medical research communities in infectious diseases and immunity in the Lyon-St Etienne area, with the University of Lyon 1, Inserm, CNRS and ENS de Lyon as main managing bodies, and Hospices Civils de Lyon and Université Jean Monnet as secondary managing bodies, and important partnerships with VetAgroSup and Institut Pasteur. More than 400 researchers with complementary disciplinary backgrounds are grouped into 3 main specialties: immunologists, bacteriologists and virologists, some of them being as well as cancerologists and epidemiologists. They work together with the main objective of understanding the biology of microbes and the immune system, and the interactions between microbes and their hosts, in order to better combat infectious diseases and other illnesses involving the immune system.
