Centre for Infectious Diseases Research
CIDR is among the three centers in Microbiology Department, we perform basic, translational and clinical research. Our highly interdisciplinary research focuses on the transmission, evolution, immunology and control of infectious diseases among human populations and environment, using cutting -edge tools in epidemiological and genetic analysis, backed by focused field and experimental research.
We collaborate with relevant stake holders in microbiome genomics research of pathogens, hosts, vectors and environment in line with “One health” concept to monitor and control public health communicable diseases’ threats, nationally and internationally.
