Corey Casper is the Chief Executive Officer at the Infectious Disease Research Institute. He oversees a portfolio of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that provide comprehensive solutions to global health problems. These include impactful adjuvant formulations that enable 21st century vaccines, a novel RNA replicon platform for the prevention of pandemic / emerging viruses, and a portfolio of products that aim to improve the treatment of cancer in low- and middle-income countries. Dr. Casper's research focuses on the relationship between infectious diseases, immunity and cancer. He has authored >120 peer-reviewed publications, and has been the Principal Investigator of >$50 million in peer-reviewed grant funding. Key contributions to science include the development and deployment of diagnostic assays for tumor viruses, leadership of multi-phased international clinical trials from conception to publication culminating in FDA licensure, epidemiologic and cost effectiveness analyses, and translational studies of the virologic and immunologic basis of infectious diseases and cancer.
