SSGCID is one of two Centers recently funded by NIAID in response to RFP-NIH-NIAID-DMID-07-19 and is a consortium of four Pacific Northwest institutions (SeattleBiomed, Emerald BioStructures, UW, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory).  The other funded center (CSGID) is based on the East Coast.  SSGCID’s primary mission is to determine the structure of 75-100 protein targets from NIAID Category A-C agents, as well as emerging and re-emerging infectious disease organisms, each year for a period of five years.
