Seattle Flu Alliance

The mission of the Seattle Flu Alliance is to understand how respiratory viruses spread and evolve, sharing that knowledge to prevent illness and death. The Seattle Flu Alliance is advancing new discoveries in respiratory disease research. Led by the researchers who conducted the Seattle Flu Study, the Seattle Flu Alliance expands research into the ways viruses like COVID-19 and the flu are detected, monitored, and controlled.
