NIAID Funds New Influenza Research Network

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, has established a network of research sites to study the natural history, transmission and pathogenesis of influenza and provide an international research infrastructure to address influenza outbreaks.

Evaluation of Patients With Immune Function Abnormalities

Use of G-CSF to Obtain Blood Cell Precursors

Study of Mycobacterial Infections

Study of Clinical Features and Genetics of Hyperimmunoglobulin E Recurrent Infection

The pathogenesis of this disease and long-term natural history is being investigated. Therefore, we seek to enroll patients and families with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of HIES syndrome for extensive phenotypic and genotypic study as well as disease management.

Simmune Project

Simmune is a suite of software tools that guides the user through the multiple hierarchical scales of cellular behavior, facilitating the generation of comprehensive models. It was originally created to simulate immunological phenomena—hence its name, Simmune—but it is applicable to a very broad class of cell biological models.

Heterogeneity in Human Immune Cells

Heterogeneity in Human Immune Cells is a website providing interactive figures (iFigs) for a recent study of protein expression heterogeneity in human immune cells conducted by Dr. John Tsang's group (Systems Genomics and Bioinformatics Unit) at the Laboratory of Immune System Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Trans-NIH Center for Human Immunology.

NIAID Clinical Genomics Program Resources

Researchers involved with the NIAID Clinical Genomics Program study many diseases of the immune system that are rare and not well understood but that often shed light on basic immune function and more common immune disorders. This research is carried out across multiple labs, disease processes, and with many different tools.

The NIAID Clinical Genomics Program centralizes resources to be used for genomics and related research.

Database of Mutations Causing Human Hyper IgE Syndrome (STAT3base)

The STAT3base contains a listing of STAT3 mutations in human HIES identified in the Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology as well as those published in the literature.
