The Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center was established in 2007 through a joint effort of Columbia University, Global Lyme Alliance, and the Lyme Disease Association, Inc. As the first academic research center in the country to focus multidisciplinary research on the chronic aspects of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, this Center demonstrates the Medical Center's commitment to using the latest scientific tools to fight this rapidly spreading disease. Because patients with chronic persistent symptoms have not been included in most research studies around the country, and because these patients are among the most disabled of all patients with Lyme disease, the two non-profit Lyme disease organizations rallied their efforts to establish this research center at Columbia University. The mission of this center ensures that leading researchers at one of the foremost academic research centers internationally are given the resources to focus their research efforts on unraveling the mysteries of these illnesses.

The Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center brings together leading clinicians and scientists to enhance patient care and recovery, using precision medicine to solve urgent clinical questions.
