Diagnostics
NIAID will leverage its expertise in infectious diseases, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and access to clinical samples to develop rapid-response diagnostics for biological threats and emerging infectious diseases. In close collaboration with other NIH institutes and USG agencies, NIAID will support the development new and improved point-of-care and home-based tests as well as ultrahigh-throughput central reference laboratory testing that can accurately detect signatures of infectious pathogens that are of high public-health consequence.
