Welcome to the Center for Experimental Infectious Disease and Research

  • The LSU-Tulane CEIDR was established as an NIH: NCRR-supported Center of Biomedical Research Excellence COBRE in 2004, led by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in a strategic alliance with the Tulane National Primate Research Center.

  • Our overarching focus is Immunopathogenesis of infectious diseases with specific emphasis in Vector-Borne and Respiratory diseases.

  • CEIDR provides an outstanding infrastructure support and training environment for the next generation of infectious disease researchers through 3 core labs GeneLab , Protein Lab and Molecular Immunopathology (MIP) Core . We are particularly interested in training veterinarians in NIH-focused research in pursuit of the “One Medicine” and “Comparative Medicine” research opportunities.

Request For Applications for Pilot Funding - (LSU- Tulane COBRE Center for Experimental Infectious Disease Research)

  • The LSU Tulane COBRE Center for Experimental Infectious Disease Research – CEIDR, is now soliciting grant applications from LSU and TNPRC faculty at all ranks (Tenure Track and Research Series) for pilot funding consideration. We would also like to encourage the submission of collaborative proposals with PIs from LSU or LSUSVM and TNPRC. Interested investigators should submit an application conforming to the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Program (R21) guidelines that can be found in the (LBRN), the LSU-Tulane Center for Experimental Infectious Disease Research website. The application should be written as an NIH R21 application intended for submission to NIH, containing an explanation of the type of preliminary results that will be funded by the COBRE phase III pilot funding that are needed to render this application competitive for NIH R21 funding.

    5th Annual Louisiana Conference on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
  • The 5th Annual Louisiana Conference on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics will be held on April 7-8, 2017 at the Xavier Convocation Center Annex Building. The conference is co-sponsored by the Louisiana Biomedical Research Network (LBRN), the LSU-Tulane Center for Experimental Infectious Disease Research (CEIDR), LSU Center for Computation and Technology (CCT) and the LSU Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED). The conference aims to expose Louisiana to the cutting edge of Computational Biology, Bioinformatics Research and Applications while also providing a platform for exchange of information and technical knowledge among Louisiana-based scientists involved in different aspects of computational biology & bioinformatics.

    • Conference thematic sessions are:
  • Metabolomics
  • Drug Repurposing, Informatics and Software Application
  • Genomics of Infectious Diseases and Viral Oncology
  • Bioinformatics of Clinical Progression in Clinical Cancer

Vision of CEIDR

The vision of the Center for Experimental Infectious Disease Research (CEIDR) at the Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge is to:

  1. Conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary research in infectious diseases and host response     to infections.
  2. To train predoctoral students and post-doctoral fellows including veterinary students, and clinical fellows
  3. To foster university-wide interest in infectious diseases through seminars and colloquia at the interface of basic and clinical research
  4. To coordinate available infrastructure and core facilities in support of infectious disease research.

CEIDR aims to become a nationally competitive Center of Excellence in infectious diseases and a significant contributor to LSU, local and state-wide economic development efforts. CEIDR is administered by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine Division of Biotechnology & Molecular Medicine .

Support of the NIH and NIGMS 5P30GM110760-03 is gratefully acknowledged.
