CEIRR: COVID-19 Research Activities

CEIRR将确定影响呼吸道病毒(包括SARS-CoV-2等冠状病毒)进化、出现、传播和致病性的分子、生态和/或环境因素，并表征对感染的免疫反应，以增进对保护和交叉保护的免疫相关性的了解。CEIRR将开展一系列活动，包括队列研究和人和动物采样，以进一步了解感染、传播和疫苗接种；确定在应对感染和接种疫苗时决定疾病结果的免疫因素；以及确定病毒如何在人类之间和物种间界面进化、适应和传播的研究。

CEIRR will determine the molecular, ecologic and/or environmental factors that influence the evolution, emergence, transmission and pathogenicity of respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2, and characterize the immune response to infection to improve understanding of the immune correlates of protection and cross-protection. CEIRR will carry out a host of activities, including cohort studies and human and animal sampling to further understanding of infection, transmission and vaccination; identification of immunological factors that determine disease outcome in the response to infection and vaccination; and studies to determine how viruses evolve, adapt and transmit between humans and at interspecies interfaces.
