Maternal Immunization and Determinants of Infant Immunity (MADI)

Program Goal

Building on the premise that the maternal and infant immune states, from gestation and through the first months of life, are interconnected entities, we propose a research program aimed at transforming our understanding of the determinants of immunity against infectious agents early in life. Through coordinated, synergistic, and multidisciplinary studies, and utilizing advanced technologies and approaches, MADI will generate essential knowledge to inform the development of new and improved interventions to enhance maternal and infant health.
