DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Accurate diagnosis is essential for proper medical treatment. Often this is confounded by the lack of or limitation of informative diagnostic assays and tools. Infectious agents rarely found in a given community or country commonly are not screened for as multiple single diagnostic assays are cost-prohibitive and tests for the most likely agent is deemed warranted. Yet it is increasingly clear that as infectious agents appear in new geographic regions and contexts, the medical and public heath communities must improve and modernize the methodologies they utilize. The Center for Research in Diagnostics and Discovery aims to develop, validate and implement multiplex platforms and predictive strategies that will advance detection of novel pathogens, identify host factors that influence susceptibility of disease and predict effectiveness of drugs and vaccines. We will bring together researchers in the fields of molecular biology, systems biology, genetics, and bioengineering. We will also bring together members of the public health communities and conservation biologists. Together, the investigators in the Center for Research in Diagnostics and Discovery will advance knowledge and platforms for the detection of agents that are either previously unidentified, known causes of epidemics, or select agents by developing and utilizing systems that could be rapidly redirected for pathogens of any type. RELEVANCE: Diagnostic assays are the primary point for medical treatment. The assays used today by the medical community do not provide the efficiency and multiplexing that are key to rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment. The Center for Research in Diagnostics and Discovery will apply and develop modern state-of-the-art technologies for the creation of new tools that can be informative to the medical community.

描述（由申请人提供）：准确的诊断对于正确的医疗至关重要。通常，这会因信息诊断测定和工具的缺乏或限制而变得混乱。在特定社区或国家中很少发现的传染性病原体通常不会被筛查，因为多次单一诊断检测的成本高昂，并且认为有必要对最可能的病原体进行测试。然而，越来越明显的是，随着传染源出现在新的地理区域和环境中，医疗和公共卫生界必须改进和现代化他们所使用的方法。诊断和发现研究中心旨在开发、验证和实施多重平台和预测策略，以推进新型病原体的检测，识别影响易感性的宿主因素 疾病并预测药物和疫苗的有效性。我们将汇集分子生物学、系统生物学、遗传学和生物工程领域的研究人员。我们还将汇集公共卫生界的成员和保护生物学家。诊断和发现研究中心的研究人员将共同推进知识和平台的发展，用于检测以前未识别的、已知的流行病原因的病原体，或者通过开发和利用可以快速重定向病原体的系统来选择病原体。任何类型。 相关性：诊断分析是医疗的首要点。医学界目前使用的检测方法无法提供快速诊断和准确治疗的关键效率和多重分析。诊断和发现研究中心将应用和开发现代最先进的技术来创建可为医学界提供信息的新工具。
