About us

We are building a truly open research network that embraces diversity of opinion, and advances clinical evidence.

Through learning with local doctors and researchers, we build a foundation of knowledge. By striving to design and conduct accelerated clinical trials, we improve diagnostics, antibiotics and treatment strategies.

Our network rigorously conducts research that directly impacts patient care for a lasting legacy of common good.

OUR PROMISE

Nurturing a vibrant research network

OUR VALUES

Break barriers

We learn from one another to evolve knowledge. In doing so, we combine efforts to achieve research breakthroughs.

Direct impact

Our research helps to enable the implementation of good medical care and medication that benefits patients.

Stay honest

We stay impartial to deliver valuable insights that influence healthcare policies and improve patient care.

Director’s message

ADVANCE-ID stands for Advancing Clinical Evidence in Infectious Diseases. We feel the name stands for so much of what we aim to do. We want to change the way we treat, diagnose, or prevent infections if we create evidence supporting change. This could be by trialling a new antibiotic, rapidly diagnosing infections, or finding a way to simply and cost-effectively prevent infections.
