The CCDC administers a number of laboratories across China, including the biosafety level 2 facility at the Wuhan Center for Disease Control (sometimes confused with the nearby Wuhan Institute of Virology), which received global media coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic for its research into SARS-like coronaviruses of bat origin. On 10 January 2020, the CCDC uploaded the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 to GISAID for global dissemination. In 2022, the Center shared with GISAID a phylogenetic analysis of over 32 independent introductions SARS-CoV-2 from outside China that were identified in the first quarter of the year.
The CCDC operates the Chinese Vaccinology Course in partnership with the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
