Your support of IVRI will help us ensure the successful translation of fundamental scientific research done in our labs to new therapeutics used the world over.
The Immunotherapeutics and Vaccine Research Initiative Fund helps us continue to harness the immune system to profoundly impact the treatment of human disease. We believe investigating the role of the immune system in infectious disease yields new approaches for treating cancer, and conversely, that studies of cancer immunology yield approaches for vaccines and therapies targeting infectious disease. This exciting enterprise teams Berkeley cancer immunologists with colleagues working on infectious disease, and requires the cooperation of senior faculty, seasoned biotech researchers, postdoctoral scholars, and students. Your gift to this fund provides unrestricted support, allowing us to relieve the areas of greatest need for our research team. Your support allows us to bring together the best minds in the field to create potentially lifesaving treatments and vaccines addressing important global health challenges.
