Infectious Disease Research Institute
Site of IDRI's facility in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle

The Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) was a non-profit organization based in Seattle, in the United States, and which conducts global health research on infectious diseases. Its new name is Access to Advanced Health Institute (AAHI).

History

IDRI was founded in 1993, by Steve Reed, PhD.

Malaria vaccine

IDRI is collaborating with the United States Agency for International Development to develop a malaria vaccine with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research using Walter Reed's CelTOS malaria antigen in conjunction with IDRI's GLA-SE adjuvant.

Visceral leishmaniasis vaccine

In February 2012, IDRI launched the world's first clinical trial of the visceral leishmaniasis vaccine. The vaccine is a recombinant form of two fused Leishmania parasite proteins with an adjuvant. Two phase 1 clinical trials with healthy volunteers are to be conducted. The first one takes place in Washington and is followed by a trial in India. The trials are funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
