VIDI is comprised of Population Sciences, including the Statistical Center for HIV and AIDS Research and Prevention (SCHARP); Infectious Disease Sciences, including HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN); and Immunology and Vaccine Development.
Tackling global health issues requires bringing together the talents and resources of people and institutions around the world. The key goal of VIDI is to solve global health problems by recruiting and retaining leading scientists in the areas of vaccine development and prevention of infectious diseases. A second goal is to facilitate the Center's ability to partner with others in the region in the creation of a regional vaccine alliance that will make Seattle and Washington State an international leader in global infectious-disease prevention.
