IAVI

IAVI is a nonprofit that develops vaccines and antibodies for HIV, tuberculosis, and emerging infectious diseases.

Our vision
A world where all people have equitable access to innovative vaccines and therapeutics.

Our mission
To translate scientific discoveries into affordable, globally accessible public health solutions.

IAVI is a nonprofit scientific research organization with offices and labs in Africa, India, Europe, and the U.S. We are scientists, researchers, advocates, activists, administrators, and innovators. We are experts in vaccine and antibody discovery, development, and clinical research.

IAVI was founded in 1996 with a mission to develop a safe, affordable, globally accessible HIV vaccine. We are still dedicated to fulfilling our original mission. While we continue to work toward an HIV vaccine, we are also applying our capabilities, expertise, and partnerships toward:

HIV, tuberculosis, and emerging infectious diseases are all marked by their persistence — even with some available vaccines and treatments — and exact a heavy personal toll, including financially. People living in poverty experience a disproportionate burden of that toll.
