Head of Centre: Professor Mary Collins
OUR MISSION is the study of persistent viral diseases of humans. From a better understanding of virus biology and the host response, we aim to improve diagnosis and treatment of viral disease and to provide an outstanding research training environment.
Our research is supported by a 5-year Centre grant from the MRC.
This award funds core research staff and infrastructure for
next-generation sequencing, small molecule screening, biobank and
immune-monitoring capabilities and our “Bench to Bedside” PhD programme
The Centre is pleased to be a partner of the Bloomsbury Institute for Pathogen Research, a new joint initiative between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and University College London to establish a centre for excellence in medically important pathogen research
