The Consortium for Understanding and Reducing Infectious Diseases in Kentucky (CURE-KY) is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaborations among clinicians, epidemiologists, behavioral researchers, and basic scientists. Bringing together experts from across the University of Kentucky, our core mission is to combat the threat of infectious diseases through transdisciplinary research directed at the prevention and treatment, targeting those diseases that significantly endanger humanity.
We are committed to nurturing future leaders in the field and actively engaging with the聽community. Drawing upon diverse expertise in immunology, microbiology, epidemiology, behavioral sciences, veterinary sciences, engineering, systems biology, communication, and global engagement, we strive for ground-breaking discoveries. Moreover, we recognize the importance of addressing vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, thereby fostering trust between the scientific community and the residents of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Ultimately, our mission encompasses not only advancing knowledge but also imparting essential skills to the next generation of scientists.
