COVID-19

The Kirby Institute has quickly mobilised our teams to bring our knowledge, experience and collaborative networks to support the global efforts to control COVID-19.

We have a strong track-record in designing solutions to infectious disease threats that can be scaled for maximum impact across diverse communities and populations. Too often, minorities and marginalised populations are most at risk. By putting the most affected communities at the heart of our research, we have designed tests, treatments and cures that have the most chance of success across a range of communities and settings.

Our COVID-19 research is centred around three core areas: understand, intervene, implement; and is underpinned by the principle of working with vulnerable communities. Read more here.
