The Ragon Institute focuses on harnessing the immune system to advance the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Their research is deeply rooted in understanding the immune response through clinical studies that utilize patient-derived samples, such as blood and mucus swabs. This approach allows researchers to gain insights into how the immune system interacts with various pathogens, including HIV and COVID-19. The institute emphasizes collaboration among its scientists, clinicians, and external partners to drive innovative solutions for global health challenges, particularly in the realm of infectious diseases.

To support its research initiatives, the Ragon Institute employs a variety of specialized platforms and laboratories. These include a Biostatistics Platform for research planning and analysis, a Cellular Immunology Database for secure data management, and a Processing Lab for clinical sample analysis. Additionally, the institute has a Systems Serology Lab that develops tools to assess antibody responses to infectious diseases, and a Tissue Platform that facilitates research on tissue-specific immunity. By integrating these technologies and fostering a collaborative environment, the Ragon Institute aims to make significant strides in understanding and combating infectious diseases.
