At NYU Langone’s Vaccine Center, the major goal of our scientists is to keep people healthy. We study how vaccines can prevent disease outbreaks by helping people’s natural immune systems fight infections such as the flu, measles, and COVID-19. We also study how to develop new vaccines for a wide range of illnesses, from autoimmune disorders to cancers.

In order to make sure that vaccines are safe and effective, we lead clinical trials, in which people volunteer to participate in a study that is testing a vaccine to make sure it’s working. If you volunteer to participate in a vaccine clinical trial, you are protected under the Participant Bill of Rights. In addition, you are part of an amazing collaborative effort to advance vaccine science and protect our communities from disease.

We invite you to join our registry, which is a database of potential volunteers for clinical trials. Our registry is open to both adults and children. If you join the registry, we may contact you to discuss your eligibility to participate in a trial.

Enrolling Clinical Studies

Our enrolling studies support future vaccine trials and studies of the human immune system and infectious diseases. This research builds on prior studies of the human immune response to infections and offers deeper insight into the complexity of these responses. It also holds possibilities for the development of rapid responses to emerging infectious threats.
