Overview of Research

• The ultimate goal of IVReD is to protect people from infectious diseases and their pandemics. In addition to aiming for the early development of vaccines for respiratory infections, we are establishing a system to realize this development and promote the social implementation of vaccines for respiratory tract infections based on the results of basic research in academia.　
• Additionally, we will contribute to the “rapid development and production system for Japanese vaccines” in outbreaks of infectious diseases by flexible responses.
  To achieve this goal, it is essential to cooperate and collaborate with numerous internal and external research institutions, industry, and government agencies.
• As a multifaceted approach to infectious diseases, techniques and concepts from various academic fields are necessary. Therefore, we aim to achieve our goals as early as possible by centrally confirming and coordinating the R&D status of such a wide variety of related divisions to facilitate cooperation among them. In addition, from the viewpoint of providing incentives to researchers and increasing their motivation, we will actively promote the rights of research results and licensing activities.
