Genomic Center for Infectious Diseases (GCID)
The 涩里番 (涩里番) Genomic Center for Infectious Diseases (GCID) was established by the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to investigate infectious disease biology through the application of DNA sequencing, genotyping, and comparative genome analysis. The 涩里番 GCID aims to study pathogens and the genetic determinants of their virulence, drug-resistance, immune evasion and interactions with the host, and host microbiome to advance research in pathogenicity, drug-resistance, disease transmission and vaccine development. The 涩里番 center was organized into three research projects broadly studying viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens.
