Mission and Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Inter-University Centre for Research on Influenza and Other Communicable Infections (CIRI-IT)<\/strong> serves as a national reference point in Italy for research, surveillance, and control of influenza and other transmissible diseases<\/strong>, particularly those preventable through vaccination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, through partnerships with international research institutions, the Centre has also been involved in European projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Promote research on influenza and other communicable diseases at both the national and international level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design, organize, and manage\u00a0national clinical-epidemiological and laboratory surveillance networks<\/strong>\u00a0to assess the\u00a0clinical, health, social, and economic impact<\/strong>\u00a0of influenza and other transmissible diseases \u2014 both in the general population and in specific population groups \u2014 to support public health strategies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Plan, coordinate, and conduct\u00a0experimental and observational studies<\/strong>\u00a0to evaluate the\u00a0efficacy, effectiveness, and safety<\/strong>\u00a0of vaccines and specific treatments for communicable infections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Conduct laboratory activities for the\u00a0identification and characterization of pathogens<\/strong>\u00a0of high relevance to public health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Develop new methods for the\u00a0rapid detection and characterization of emerging pathogens<\/strong>, in line with recommendations from international health agencies, aimed at implementing\u00a0integrated and routine surveillance systems<\/strong>\u00a0(combining epidemiological and laboratory data) to support\u00a0national and regional strategic health plans<\/strong>\u00a0in response to infectious disease emergencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Carry out\u00a0validation studies<\/strong>\u00a0of laboratory tests for the diagnosis of priority pathogens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Plan, coordinate, and participate in\u00a0mathematical modelling and Health Technology Assessment (HTA)<\/strong>projects in the field of disease prevention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote the development and implementation of systems for the analysis of\u00a0clinical-epidemiological and laboratory data<\/strong>\u00a0using statistical techniques based on\u00a0Big Data methodologies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Contribute to the development of\u00a0guidelines<\/strong>\u00a0for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of communicable diseases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Collaborate with\u00a0European surveillance systems<\/strong>\u00a0coordinated by the\u00a0World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Foster\u00a0technology transfer<\/strong>\u00a0to industry through the development and implementation of research projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design and implement research projects aimed at\u00a0health promotion<\/strong>, targeting various population groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote scientific debate and\u00a0disseminate research findings<\/strong>\u00a0through publications in national and international journals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Support\u00a0educational initiatives<\/strong>, including conferences, congresses, and symposia on communicable diseases, to ensure\u00a0continuing education for healthcare professionals and research personnel<\/strong>. Provide scientific and technical support to regional healthcare services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Collaborate at national and international levels with\u00a0scientific societies and research institutions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Establish\u00a0research grants and awards<\/strong>\u00a0to support the Centre\u2019s strategic goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
