The Institute for Infection & Immunity has an annual fundraising charity event called Jennerosity. This year we are supporting St George's University of London Coronavirus Action Fund. 

Our members will be carrying out various activities in their local communities to raise funds including running, endurance challenges, selling plants and running a quiz. This culminates with Jennerosity Day where we hold a research seminar and hear our scientists talk about their work related to COVID-19. I hope you will support us!

As the UK's specialist health university, St George's is in a unique position to carry out essential research into coronavirus. Research projects are underway to understand the science of Covid-19, informing the development of new diagnostics, new treatments and a vaccine. Our experts are also influencing public health policy and providing evidence-based information and advice to front-line healthcare practitioners. While this work is progressing, we need further support to accelerate and broaden our research, with the ultimate aim to save lives.
