Mission and vision
The Amsterdam UMC Institute for Immunology and Infectious Diseases (AI&I) is dedicated to unravel the complexities of the immune system in disease as well as healthy state and infectious diseases.
Mission: Our mission is to foster groundbreaking research, stimulate innovation, and translate discoveries into tangible benefits for human health. We do so by empowering and leveraging the specific strengths of our two scientific programs, Immunology and Infectious Diseases, while also actively fostering synergy between these programs and connecting with our strategic partners and other institutes.
Vision: Our vision is of a world where science transcends boundaries, where infectious diseases no longer pose insurmountable challenges, and where in-depth immunological insights in inflammatory processes, autoimmune diseases and cancer lead to new horizons via novel clinical interventions.
