Laboratory Resources:
Biodefense & Emerging Infections Research Resources Repository: BEI Resources was established by NIAID to acquire, authenticate, and produce reagents that scientists need to carry out basic research and develop improved diagnostic tests, vaccines, and therapies. By centralizing these functions within BEI Resources, access to and use of these materials in the scientific community is monitored and quality control of the reagents is assured.
In Vitro and Animal Models for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Biodefense: Provides targeted screening and evaluation of potential therapeutic and prevention modalities for emerging infectious agents and bioterrorism pathogens using in vitro, small animal, and nonhuman primate models to test safety and efficacy.
In Vitro Antiviral Screening Program: Facilitates the identification of antiviral agents with the potential for treating viral infections of public health importance, including those for newly emerging infections, and those that are not a high priority for the pharmaceutical industry.
NIAID Microbial Sequencing Center: Provide state-of-the-art high throughput DNA sequencing of microbial genomes.
Systems Approach to Innate Immunity, Inflammation, and Sepsis: The Scripps Research Institute: The primary objective of the program is to develop an encyclopedia of innate immune system activity. This large-scale collaborative project grant brings together investigators with many different scientific backgrounds and talents to use a “systems biology” approach to better understand how the innate immune system responds to bacteria and viruses, as well as its role in orchestrating adaptive immunity.
NIH/NIAID Tetramer Facility: Provides tetramers to researchers from around the world allowing them to conduct experiments that otherwise would be difficult or impossible to complete.
