COVID-19

Now is the time. Humanity is in the midst of a fight for countless lives as we seek ways to treat an entirely new disease. Thanks to advancements in technology, knowledge, and capability, we are superbly equipped to meet this challenge.

Every day, more people are infected and more people succumb to effects of this virus. You have an opportunity to play a key role in finding solutions for COVID-19 by supporting this important effort. By partnering with us, you can help save lives.

The UC San Diego Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health launched a COVID-19 Research Fund to address the greatest needs in this evolving situation, and move forward with research and health care efforts to better understand and respond to this still-emerging pandemic.
