The Center for Childhood Infections and Vaccines (CCIV) stands as a powerful catalyst for progress in children's health. CCIV unites researchers, physicians, and clinicians at the forefront of innovation in vaccine development and testing, as well as in critical fields like microbiology, virology, immunology, artificial intelligence/machine learning, pre-clinical studies, and clinical trials. By synergizing the strengths of Emory University—including the Emory Vaccine Center and the Center for Excellence in Influenza Research and Response—with other leading institutions across Georgia, CCIV is accelerating significant breakthroughs in understanding and combating emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Our collaborative power directly fuels the creation and rigorous evaluation of next-generation vaccines and deepens our knowledge of immune responses in children, demonstrably shaping a healthier and more secure future for generations to come.
CCIV has five integrative focus areas that are designed to build new collaborations, leading to sustainable research programs, new grant opportunities and important discoveries.
