About the Infectious Disease Research Network:Infections are an important and growing concern for many clinical specialties across the NHS. High quality infectious disease research often requires effective multidisciplinary collaborations involving clinicians in several centres, laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, economists, mathematical modellers and others. The Infectious Disease Research Network (IDRN) aims to promote such collaborations, provide multidisciplinary training opportunities, and act as a forum for encouraging high quality infectious disease research.The London IDRN was established in 2002, and the aim was to improve the quality, quantity and relevance of infectious disease research in the capital. One of the key successes of the network has been the participation by hundreds of researchers from academica, the NHS, Health Protection Agency, Industry and other institutions.As a result of the success of the Network within London, the IDRN is now actively working with researchers across the country.
