Fighting Human Disease

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO APPLY A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH TO DISEASE RESEARCH

Scientists in CMNS are tackling the dynamics of infectious and hereditary diseases at all scales, from complex multispecies conditions, such as malaria, to whole-body aging disorders; from the flu with its organ-specific infection pathway to the submicroscopic structure of disease-causing viruses and disease-fighting antibodies. From multispecies to the submolecular scale, CMNS researchers are fighting human diseases on multiple fronts.

The BBI is a research community of 100+ investigators that harnesses the power of a multi-disciplinary approach to solve the most pressing problems related to nervous system function in development, aging and disease.
