Center for Modeling Immunity to Enteric Pathogens (MIEP)

The MIEP is one of four NIAID-funded National Centers in Modeling Immunity for Biodefense. The MIEP is a collaborative $10.6M program Directed by Dr. Bassaganya-Riera with the mission of understanding the mechanisms of action underlying immune responses to gut pathogens. To achieve this goal MIEP will develop and disseminate new and improved computational and mathematical models of the mucosal immune system to generate new knowledge from immunology and infectious disease datasets. To engage the immunological research community, MIEP will provide a user-friendly web-based immunological experimentation environment that incorporates the models, is programmatically tied to the Immunology Database and Analyses Portal (ImmPort), and offer traning on modeling mucosal immunity.
