A NIAID-funded international research network created to study influenza and combat influenza outbreaks.
About us
The Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response (CEIRR) Network is a multidisciplinary and collaborative research network funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to study natural history, transmission, and pathogenesis of influenza and provide an international research infrastructure to address influenza outbreaks. The CEIRR Network is made up of six research centers and one coordination center. Each Center conducts studies both in the United States and abroad to study key influenza research areas and provide pandemic response. The broad research areas include: 1) Understanding the immune response to influenza vaccination and infection and identify which immunological factors can determine disease severity. 2) Surveillance projects investigate how influenza viruses infect, evolve, and transmit in both human and animal infections. 3) Emergency research responses to outbreaks of influenza and other emerging viral pathogens. 4) Although CEIRR is primarily focused on influenza, the network also studies SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as well as other emerging viruses of pandemic potential. This page is run by the CEIRR Influenza Data Processing and Communication Center (iDPCC). Posts and engagements do not necessarily represent the views of NIAID, NIH.

It was much pleasure and fun to meet with colleagues and friends at the CEIRR Network Annual Event hosted by CRIP team at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and The New York Academy of Medicine. Even the CrowdStrike #outage ✈️ was unable to prevent us from some good networking and research presentation. See ya all next year at The University of Georgia in Athens

The recent outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b in dairy cattle in the U.S. poses an unprecedented pandemic threat. The number of affected states has reached up to 13 with 175 confirmed cases totally. The viruses might be transmitted from cow to cow directly and interstate spread should likely occur through the milking process and transportation of infected cows between the farms. Viral RNA traces were also detected in wastewater The infection involves lactating animals with very high viral loads in the milk. Although conjunctivitis was the major symptom in several human cases reported so far, WHO is warning about potential mortality rate to exceed 60% upon infection by raw (unpasteurized) milk from sick cows. A(H5N1) viruses can induce hyper-inflammatory responses (a.k.a. ‘cytokine storm’) and also spread systemically through multiple organs and tissues including the central nervous system. How widespread is the virus in dairy cattle actually? Can cows become a “mixing vessel” that fosters further virus evolution? Should it respond to Tamiflu or other antiviral medications available? Are the formulated vaccines suitable to protect us? St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of seven Collaborating Centers operating under the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System and U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response (CEIRR Network). Here, the researchers systematically conduct surveillance for emerging and zoonotic influenza viruses. They analyze risk assessment data to address these questions and ensure preparedness to potential future pandemics.

Last week, UGA's Center for Influenza Disease & Emergence Research (CIDER) attended the annual CEIRR Network meeting at the New York Academy of Medicine. At the meeting, CIDER members networked, presented their research and competed in poster competitions. See the photos below to see the CIDER team (two group photos were needed to fit everyone)! Next year, CEIRR's Annual Network Meeting will be held on home soil in Athens, GA! Learn more about CIDER at https://zurl.co/gNxH.
