Mission: Trudeau institute's mission is to understand the body's immune system by conducting experimental studies at the frontiers of knowledge. That understanding is vital to progress in strengthening our bodies' ability to fight life-threatening infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Discoveries about the intricate workings of the immune system apply not to just a single disease but to a vast array of human afflictions. The list of diseases critically involving the immune system is extensive: tuberculosis, influenza, sepsis, colitis, cancer, zika, dengue, SARS-CoV-2, among many others. Progress toward fighting these diseases and finding cures for them requires an in-depth understanding of the workings of the immune system. Scientists at the Trudeau institute focus exclusively on understanding the roles of the immune system in health and disease.
Programs: The Trudeau institute is a world-renowned leader in the effort to better understand the immune system for the purpose of preventing and treating human diseases. Our expertise and enthusiasm for modeling infection, immunity, vaccination, inflammation, and sepsis have led to many pioneering discoveries. Mouse models currently studied at the institute include influenza, parainfluenza, influenza-associated bacterial pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, pneumonic plague, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, zika and chronic herpesvirus infection. The Trudeau institute continued its research in the areas of immunology and infectious disease, supported by grants from the national institute of health, New York state, and through subcontracts with various universities and foundations.
