NIAID Clinical Proteomics

The Clinical Proteomics Centers for Infectious Diseases and Biodefense apply state-of-the-art proteomics technologies for the discovery, qualification, and verification of protein biomarkers in well-defined clinical samples collected for infectious diseases caused by NIAID Category A-C biodefense pathogens and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. At the conclusion of the verification phase of each project conducted by the Clinical Proteomics Centers, scientists from the Centers and their collaborators will be allowed three months to prepare and submit a manuscript for publication prior to putting the associated data in the public domain. Candidate biomarkers from bacterial projects will then be made available to the scientific community on the PATRIC website, where they will be freely available to the public. The Centers and their bacterial projects are:
