CAS-TWAS Centre of Excellence for
Emerging Infectious Disease
(CEEID)

CAS-TWAS Centres of Excellence
Six centres of excellence organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) offer a remarkable opportunity for researchers from the developing world to study, train and work in top Beijing-based laboratories.

CEEID formally established in 2018. This Centre fully take the advantage in different research fields of CAS, make full use of the research platforms for EID of Institute of Microbiology (IMCAS), Center for Influenza Research and Early-warning (CASCIRE), the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai (IPSCAS) and the Bio-safety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory in Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIVCAS), to build a national research cooperation and communication center with all developing countries. The CEEID will focus on the frontier scientific questions in the field of EID and the strategic demands for the biological safety of our country, to provide great support for the execution of the strategy of global administration and economic principles.
