Infectious Disease Research

Infectious diseases are caused by germs, and they kill more people worldwide than any other single cause. Germs such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa easily pass from person to person, spreading disease. Research into how these germs spread, and how to treat the illnesses they cause, is critical to global health.
