Omics of Lethal Human Viruses

The OMICS-LHV (Lethal Human Viruses) project uses a systems biology approach to develop a comprehensive understanding of the host response to unique viruses that cause lethal infections in humans.
Funded the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Health and Human Services, OMICS-LHV brings together six institutions: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Washington University in St. Louis, Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, Wisconsin University of Madison-Wisconsin, and PNNL.
PNNL researchers are providing expertise in computational modeling, proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics.
The knowledge gained from this work is expected to provide a strong foundation for understanding the host response to lethal human virus pathogens, and it could facilitate development of improved strategies for intervening with lethal virus disease.
