- InnateDB
Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions, and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans and mice to microbial infection.
- ImmGen
The Immunological Genome Project Web database provides gene expression profiles and genetic regulatory networks for a very large array of cell populations in the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Research Training
Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation
Division of Intramural Research
DMID supports extramural research to control and prevent diseases caused by virtually all human infectious agents except HIV by providing funding opportunities and a comprehensive set of services for researchers.
Funding Opportunities
Apply for grants or contracts to conduct basic research, preclinical development, or clinical evaluation.
Research Tools and Technologies
Preclinical and Clinical Services to Facilitate Product Development
Request development by DMID-funded contractors of critical information needed to move a product through the product development pathway. Note: Services are contingent upon availability of required preliminary data.
