Columbia University – Lyme and Tick Borne Disease Research Center

“The Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases Research Center was established as the first academic research center in the country to focus multidisciplinary research on chronic Lyme disease. In recognition that a growing number of patients experience ongoing or relapsing symptoms after having been treated for Lyme disease and in recognition that diagnostic tests are plagued by both false positive and false negative results and rarely provide definitive information about the presence or absence of active infection, the mission of this center is to focus research on identifying better diagnostic assays, better treatments, and a better pathophysiologic understanding of the mechanisms of symptom persistence so as to enable the development of more effective treatments…”
