St. Jude is one of six institutions designated as a Center of
Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS)
by the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The St. Jude CEIRs team seeks to shed light on the
mechanism of contagion of flu pandemics as a result of animal
viruses.

3.  The team’s research centers on identifying human
responses to the flu, discovering how the flu passes
from animals to humans, and enhancing vaccines and
treatments. St. Jude’s flu researchers work to
accomplish this goal by carrying out surveillance on flu
viruses in the viruses' hosts and humans who have
contact with them.
