Who are we?

The agency in brief

A central role in infectious diseases research for over 35 years. Supporting research to prevent, understand and treat emerging infectious diseases.

The ANRS Emerging Infectious diseases (ANRS MIE) was created in 2021 by the merger of two entities: the national AIDS research agency (ANRS) and the Inserm Research and Action Targeting Emerging Infectious Diseases (REACting) consortium.
