BEIRNE B. CARTER CENTER FOR
IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH

The Beirne B. Carter Center for Immunology Research (BCIC) at the University of Virginia was founded through the generosity of Beirne B. Carter, and the Foundation continues to support its efforts.  The researchers in the BCIC work to provide a better understanding of hepatitis C, influenza, cancer, RSV, AIDS, and autoimmune disorders, helping find new treatments and cures.  Research "seed funds" from the Foundation have resulted in advances in human health, as well as significant NIH funding and other grant support for researchers in the Center.  In 2002, the Foundation made a $5,000,000 multi-year pledge toward expansion of the BCIC into new space in a new medical research facility at the University named the Carter-Harrison Research Building .

The Carter-Harrison Research Building, completed in 2009, is a 150,000 square foot research facility that brings together nationally renowned experts in immunology, infectious diseases, and cancer. BCIC occupies an entire floor of the new building and is strategically located near other researchers with similar interests. The research conducted in the Carter-Harrison Building will provide hope for millions whose immune systems are functioning improperly, or those who have been ravaged by infectious disease or cancer.
