Director’s Message
The mission of the University of Missouri Laboratory for Infectious Disease Research is to provide state of the art facilities to support research on infectious diseases. Our goal is to foster research in the development of novel approaches to prevent and treat diseases caused by some of our most deadly pathogens.
