Project Management

Management of the SSGCID is overseen by a Scientific Leadership Team comprised of the primary PI (from Seattle BioMed) and  the PIs from the sub-contracting institutions (Emerald BioStructures, University of Washington, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), with the assistance of an overall Program Manager and Site Managers at Seattle BioMed, Emerald and UW.  The SSGCID management structure and organizational chart can be viewed here.

Activities within the SSGCID project are divided into seven teams distributed between the four sites:

  • Project Management Team
  • IT & Data Management Team
  • Target Selection Team
  • Cloning & Expression Testing Team
  • Protein Production Team
  • Crystallization Team
  • Data Collection & Structure Solution Team

An advisory board called the Scientific Working Group (SWG) makes recommendations on efficiently generating protein structures in a high throughput environment, and provides advice on the structural genomics needs of the scientific community.  

The members of the SWG have been recruited from among eminent scientists outside of the SSGCID and include members that provide a broad geographical and domain representation of the relevant scientific community.  They represent individuals from industry and academic institutions in the US and Europe, as well as developing countries that face a disproportionate burden from infectious disease.
