Description

The Center for Discovery and Innovation in Parasitic Diseases (CDIPD) is an interdisciplinary research center started at UCSF, and continuing with collaboarations at UCSD. CDIPD targets diseases affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide, but which are largely ignored by traditional drug and vaccine discovery companies because they primarily affect the poor and underserved.
