Welcome
The Center for Modeling Pulmonary Immunity is a joint effort between the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The center was established in September 2005 in order to study local pulmonary immune responses in response to biodefense pathogens.
The center will capitalize on a longstanding tradition of collaboration between immunologists and mathematicians and computer scientists from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan for the purpose of developing mathematical models of the immune system.
Funding for the Center comes from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Modeling Immunity for Biodefense project (RFP NIH-NIAID-DAIT-BAA-05-10).
