Administrative Core for a Center on Systems Epigenomics of Persistent Bloodstream Infection
Official title: Administrative Core
Funded at Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center · NIH-11350980 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A center project is building a coordinated, data-driven program to study why some bloodstream infections persist despite therapy, with a focus on host-pathogen interactions and epigenomics.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with bloodstream infections that persist despite therapy and clinicians seeking improved understanding and treatment options.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not experiencing persistent bloodstream infection or those not involved in any interventional aspect of the center’s activities outside data analysis.
What this research studies
This grant supports an Administrative Network Core that coordinates multiple projects and cores within a center devoted to understanding persistent bloodstream infections. The team will use systems biology, bioinformatics, and data management to streamline collaboration, monitor progress, and optimize logistics. The aim is to align activities across projects and cores to accelerate discovery and translation to better patient care. The center emphasizes efficient administration, resource management, and quality improvement to reach its research goals.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lead to more effective treatments and faster, more precise responses to life-threatening bloodstream infections.
How similar studies have gone: Prior centers using administrative cores to enable multi-project teams have shown improved coordination and faster ad hoc discovery in infectious disease research.
