DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Louisville proposes to establish a Center for Predictive Medicine for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (CPMBEID). Our long-term objective is to support the development of gene-based countermeasures and diagnostic approaches based on system changes that occur during host-pathogen interactions. Focusing on host-based bio-threat and emerging infectious disease research should allow the development of broad-spectrum interventions to infectious agents rather than the current paradigm of "one bug/one vaccine" approach so prevalent today. Our specific aims are to 1) meet the expanding needs of current researchers who work with Category A, B, or C priority pathogens at the University of Louisville; 2) expand facilities so that we can add an additional six faculty investigators who work with these agents; 3) assemble a unique mix of technologies in a free standing BSL3 facility so that the instrumentation and expertise is available on site to manipulate experimental materials and avoid the need for shipping material off site; and 4) to serve as a resource for investigators from other institutions in our region who can benefit from the unique mix of technologies we will assemble in the facility as well as be prepared to bring those technologies to bear in the event of a bioterrorism emergency. The University created a superb team of investigators and administrators to shepherd this project from application to operation. We are committed to working with NIAID and believe our missions can be mutually reinforced by building a RBL in Louisville.

描述（由申请人提供）： 路易斯维尔大学提议建立预测医学中心， 生物防御和新发传染病（CPMBEID）。我们的长期目标是支持基于宿主-病原体相互作用期间发生的系统变化的基于基因的对策和诊断方法的发展。侧重于基于宿主的生物威胁和新出现的传染病研究，应该能够开发针对传染性病原体的广谱干预措施，而不是目前流行的“一种病菌/一种疫苗”方法。我们的具体目标是：1）满足路易斯维尔大学目前研究A类、B类或C类优先病原体的研究人员不断扩大的需求; 2）扩大设施，以便我们能够增加另外六名研究这些病原体的研究人员;第三章在独立的BSL 3设施中组装独特的技术组合，以便在现场使用仪器和专业知识进行操作实验材料，并避免需要将材料运离现场;以及4）作为我们区域其他机构调查人员的资源，他们可以从我们将在该设施中汇集的独特技术组合中受益，并准备在发生生物恐怖主义紧急情况时使用这些技术。该大学创建了一个由调查人员和管理人员组成的优秀团队，以指导该项目从应用到操作。我们致力于与NIAID合作，并相信我们的使命可以通过在路易斯维尔建立RBL来相互加强。
