IDRI's core purpose is to save lives by developing novel, advanced products for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of neglected diseases of poverty. We combine our passion for improving human health with the understanding that it is not just what we know about disease, but what we do to change its course that will have the greatest impact.

Devastating infectious diseases cause suffering for millions of people around the globe. Our portfolio of programs comprises diseases that kill more than six million adults and children each year. These diseases have different etiologies, symptoms, global footprints, and challenges. Nevertheless, we have a singular goal for each: to develop products that save lives.

At IDRI, we are the bridge between knowledge and action. Our emphasis on the final goal line — products on the market — sets us apart from other nonprofit research groups. IDRI brings diverse talents and resources together and applies them to solve intractable global health problems. Our unique product-based approach to fighting infectious diseases has already yielded novel diagnostics, vaccines, and treatment strategies that are making a difference in millions of lives. We remain committed to helping millions more.


He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
