ITI Overview
At the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection we seek to leverage decades of leadership at Stanford to achieve a new level of understanding and patient care. We also seek to enhance educational opportunities for students and training at all levels. We are at the healing edge of medicine, applying a new generation of treatments for some of the most serious diseases of our time. We achieve this by cutting across traditional boundaries to foster multidisciplinary teams of investigators to target every aspect of major diseases from the most basic to the most clinical. In this way, teams of experts can pool their knowledge and strategize about the most promising new ways to detect, prevent and treat immune-mediated and infectious diseases and prevent organ rejection.
Our priorities are:
Reengergize immune health; identify benchmarks
Develop more poweful vaccines for old and new threats
Eliminate chronic autoimmune and infectious diseases
Revolutionize organ transplantation
Improving people's lives
Our work is helping to identify and address the root cause of the following diseases:
