Systems Approach to Immunology (systemsimmunology.org) is a large collaborative research program formed to study the mechanisms by which the immune system responds to infectious disease by inciting innate inflammatory reactions and instructing adaptive immune responses. This multidisciplinary international consortium includes researchers from the Scripps Research Institute, the Institute for Systems Biology, the Australian National University, and Stanford University. It is supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health. The consortium comprises seven Cores that are cooperating to develop a detailed model of immune responses to both bacterial and viral pathogens.
This web site is designed for the dissemination of our work to the scientific community. Under the tabs at the top of this page, you will find a description of the work performed by each Core, as well as links to data sets and to protocols that were used to generate these datasets. Data generated by this consortium are freely available to the scientific community. These data are available in raw form and in processed forms so that they may be explored without need for specialized training in computational analysis or bioinformatics.
