DMID Systems Biology Program for
Infectious Diseases Research
Goal: To use a combination of computational and
experimental methodologies to conduct research
projects to identify, model and predict molecular
interaction networks of pathogens and the host
during disease infectious disease initiation and
progression.
Features:

Integration of omics technologies

Generation and sharing of experimental research data and
protocols, reagents and other resources with the scientific
community

Recommendations for Next Decade
 Continue to partner with scientific community to
support bioinformatics and computational
infrastructure for evolving research needs.
 Continue to play a leadership role in data and
reagents release.
 Set ambitious and challenging goals for applying
genomic approaches to understand infectious
diseases.
 Promote use of cutting edge genomic
technologies and integrated data sets to establish
new strategies for developing drugs, vaccines and
diagnostics.
Other Goals of the Program
 Multi-disciplinary research
 Combined multi-omics technologies
 Gigabytes of omics data for the broad
scientific community
 New hypotheses generated by the systems
biology approach
 Modeling applied to omics integrated
datasets
