Welcome to the Center of Excellence in Inflammation, Infectious Disease & Immunity where innovative research is vital to medical breakthroughs!
The mission of the Center of Excellence in Inflammation, Infectious Disease, and Immunity (CIIDI) is to coordinate efforts and facilitate interactions among members of the ETSU biomedical research community in order to advance education, research, and clinical applications in inflammation, immune, and infectious diseases.
The CIIDI serves as an integrated and synergistic environment for basic, applied, and translational research that is focused on the development of new and novel approaches to the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases centering on inflammation, immunity, and infectious diseases.
A major objective of the CIIDI is to create an intellectual and scholarly environment that increases our competitiveness for extramural funding including investigator-initiated grants, program projects, center grants, contracts, and training grants.
With CIIDI’s influx of recruitment rates, sample acquisition, and additional large-scale collaborative efforts, it was imperative to create a formal Clinical Research Office.
