地区IV东南地区新出现感染和生物防御卓越中心(SERCEB)由东南部的6个成员机构和15个附属机构组成。北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校是牵头机构，成员机构包括杜克大学、埃默里大学、范德比尔特大学、阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校和佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校。SERCEB的目标是开发新的疫苗、疗法和诊断方法，以更好地保护国家免受潜在的生物恐怖分子和新出现的传染病威胁。这是通过使用尖端科学和技术进行跨学科和协作研究来实现的。SERCEB通过教育计划、支持创新的新项目以及其世界级研究人员之间的协同互动，为生物防御工作带来了新的研究人员。

The Region IV Southeast Regional Center of Excellence for Emerging Infections and Biodefense (SERCEB) consists of six member institutions and 15 affiliate institutions across the Southeast. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the lead institution, with member institutions including the Duke University, Emory University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Florida-Gainesville. The goals of SERCEB are to develop new vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to better protect the nation against potential bioterrorist and emerging infectious disease threats. This is accomplished through interdisciplinary and collaborative research using cutting-edge science and technologies. SERCEB brings new investigators to the biodefense effort through a combination of educational programs, support of innovative new projects, and the synergistic interactions among its world-class investigators.
