... Over the years, the following Russian institutes have been the principal partners of CDC: State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vector State Research Center for Applied Microbiology Central Institute of Epidemiology Mechnikov Institute of Vaccines and Sera Research Institute of Influenza Sustaining advances that have been made will depend upon access to limited funds to allow continued scientist-to-scientist dialogue and technical exchanges coupled with more significant investments in major projects that can be undertaken in true partnership, including shared costs and personnel commitments divided by the two sides. Collaborative projects between CDC and Russian partners have relied on the ISTC to facilitate program management and to handle financial resources.
