项目摘要
(a) Overview
The past two years have shown that infectious diseases are global threats, revealing an urgent need to improve
preparedness to combat unknown pathogens. Furthermore, the alarming increase in infections caused by
antimicrobial resistant (AMR; see glossary, below) pathogens in recent years, exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic, illustrates that we are also on the verge of losing our ability to treat infections caused by known
pathogens. Combination drug treatment is the therapeutic mainstay in the treatment of infections caused by
several microbial pathogens, including HIV and the tuberculosis bacterium. Still, systematic and efficient
development of such treatments for AMR or emerging pathogens is lacking. Tufts University (TU) is proposing
to construct a new biomedical research facility, the Laboratory for Combinatorial Drug Regimen Design for
Resistant and Emerging Pathogens (LCDRD), to design and develop new combinatorial therapeutic approaches
for bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections and to accelerate research on AMR and emerging pandemic
pathogens. The LCDRD is designed to facilitate the development of novel treatments for difficult-to-treat
infections due to pathogens from both animals and humans. In addition to generating new therapies for AMR or
emerging pathogens, this facility will provide diverse, well-characterized human bacterial pathogens with linked
clinical data from across ‘Tufts-Medicine’, a state-wide network of hospitals serving diverse populations, for study
by academia and industry. The Stuart B. Levy Tufts Center for Integrative Management of Antimicrobial
Resistance (CIMAR) unites faculty from TU and Tufts Medical Center (TMC), as well as affiliate members from
across the region and nation, with expertise in biomedical research, engineering, human and veterinary
medicine, global health, environmental surveillance, policy, and education, to catalyze the development of new
combinatorial drug strategies to treat a wide range of pathogens. Working with CIMAR in LCDRD will be the
nascent Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Response (CEIDAR), which addresses emerging and
expanding infectious disease threats such as insect-borne bacterial and viral pathogens. CEIDAR includes the
Tufts Lyme Initiative and utilizes the BSL-3 level Tufts New England Regional Biosafety Laboratory (NERBL) at
Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton, an important resource for expanding work. Institutions
affiliated with CIMAR/CEIDAR span a spectrum of academic and pharmaceutical interests and, although located
locally at TU, will enhance transdisciplinary interactions among regional and national investigators and entities.
Project Goals: The LCDRD will enable specialized and collaborative work on emerging and resistant microbial
pathogens that is required to generate new combinatorial treatments. The facility will: 1) enhance interaction
between clinicians and biomedical researchers to generate therapeutic antimicrobial drug regimens, particularly
combination therapies, against CDCs urgent and emerging threat pathogens; 2) develop genetic and systems
approaches to facilitate ‘personalized medicine’ for patients with difficult-to-treat infection; 3) provide a space
where visiting scientists can receive hands-on training, allowing knowledge dissemination intra-institutionally,
regionally, nationally, and globally; and 4) increase the national capacity to respond to infectious disease
emergencies by providing academic and industrial entities access to libraries of well-characterized isolates for
emerging pandemic and AMR pathogens.
Affected Space and Requested Equipment: The LCDRD will provide a modern, centralized laboratory and
collaboration capacity for a multi-institutional effort to utilize state-of-the-art research technologies to generate
and characterize novel drug therapies for pathogens resistant to current therapeutic regimens as well as new
pandemic threats. It will provide a specialized and biosecure environment for researchers to work with multi-
drug resistant (MDR) and emerging pathogens. It will be built in an existing 2,400 sq. ft. shell space in the
Biomedical Research and Public Health Building on the Tufts Health Sciences campus in Boston. The new
facility, directly adjacent to Tufts’ existing BSL-3 lab and the laboratories of the PI and a key CIMAR investigator,
will be shared by teams of interdisciplinary researchers from four TU schools and TMC, as well as collaborators
from other regional and national institutions.
Impact on Research and Clinical Practice: The National Health Security Strategy, 2019-2022, states that “the
growing incidence of AMR has both public health and national security consequences” and that “expanding the
antimicrobial arsenal is a real and immediate requirement to avoid an era of untreatable infectious diseases.”
Through centralizing and leveraging our expertise in bacterial, viral, and MDR pathogens, innovative measures
of combinatorial drug efficacy, and deep clinical expertise in treatment-resistant infections, the LCDRD will
support the nation’s AMR crisis response by generating novel therapies, both at Tufts and in collaboration with
other academic and pharmaceutical entities across the country (Fig. 1). LCDRD will be a national center of
excellence that makes broadly available well-characterized pathogens with clinical data, allowing for linkage of
patient outcomes to strain-level pathogenicity and combination therapy. This will enable a true link from bedside
to bench and back—a feedback loop that will maintain a tight translational focus, inform treatment regimens for
current and emerging threats, and promote personalized medicine.
(一)概述
过去两年的情况表明,传染病是全球性威胁,迫切需要改进
做好对抗未知病原体的准备。此外,由以下原因引起的感染病例数量惊人地增加:
近年来,抗生素耐药性(AMR;见下文词汇表)病原体的出现因 COVID-19 的爆发而加剧
大流行表明,我们也正处于失去治疗由已知病毒引起的感染的能力的边缘
病原体。联合药物治疗是治疗由以下原因引起的感染的主要治疗方法
几种微生物病原体,包括艾滋病毒和结核菌。仍然系统、高效
针对 AMR 或新出现病原体的此类治疗方法尚缺乏开发。塔夫茨大学(TU)提议
建造一个新的生物医学研究设施,组合药物方案设计实验室
耐药和新兴病原体(LCDRD),设计和开发新的组合治疗方法
针对细菌、病毒、真菌和寄生虫感染,并加速对抗菌素耐药性和新出现的流行病的研究
病原体。 LCDRD 旨在促进难以治疗的新疗法的开发
由动物和人类病原体引起的感染。除了针对 AMR 或
针对新兴病原体,该设施将提供多样化、特征明确的人类细菌病原体,并与相关
来自“塔夫茨医学”(服务不同人群的全州医院网络)的临床数据供研究
受到学术界和工业界的关注。 Stuart B. Levy 塔夫茨抗菌药物综合管理中心
阻力 (CIMAR) 联合了来自 TU 和塔夫茨医学中心 (TMC) 的教职人员以及来自
跨地区和国家,拥有生物医学研究、工程、人类和兽医方面的专业知识
医学、全球健康、环境监测、政策和教育,以促进新领域的发展
治疗多种病原体的组合药物策略。在 LCDRD 中与 CIMAR 合作将是
新兴传染病和应对中心(CEIDAR),致力于解决新发传染病和
不断扩大的传染病威胁,例如虫媒细菌和病毒病原体。 CEIDAR 包括
塔夫茨莱姆倡议并利用 BSL-3 级塔夫茨新英格兰地区生物安全实验室 (NERBL)
位于格拉夫顿的塔夫茨卡明斯兽医学院是扩大工作的重要资源。机构
隶属于 CIMAR/CEIDAR,涵盖一系列学术和制药领域,尽管位于
在TU本地,将加强区域和国家研究人员和实体之间的跨学科互动。
项目目标:LCDRD 将促进针对新兴和耐药微生物的专业化和协作性工作
产生新的组合治疗所需的病原体。该设施将:1)增强互动
临床医生和生物医学研究人员之间的合作,以制定治疗性抗菌药物方案,特别是
针对疾病预防控制中心紧急和新出现的威胁病原体的联合疗法; 2)开发遗传和系统
为患有难以治疗的感染的患者提供“个性化医疗”的方法; 3)提供空间
