Infectious disease
Learn more about why we're taking on infectious disease and what we're doing.
Infectious Disease Team
We support science to bring innovative solutions to combat infectious disease in the most affected communities.
Our work advances the discovery, development and optimisation of interventions to control and combat infectious diseases. The research we fund also helps us to understand how and why infectious diseases emerge or escape control.
We focus on two important threats to infectious disease control: drug-resistant infections and diseases impacted by environmental change.
