Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases

This is an archival version of the website for the CSGID as it existed betwen 2007-2022. The CSGID evolved into the Center for Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases. The CSBID consortium site can be found at http://csbid.org/.

CSGID has determined multiple structures from SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus causing the COVID-19 disease and has also contributed to development of novel coronavirus research resources. CSGID scientists have created tool for visualisation and analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 protein structures with respect to mutational patterns.

CSGID is a consortium of laboratories using state-of-the-art structural biology methods to determine the 3-D structures of proteins from pathogens in the NIAID Category A-C priority lists and organisms causing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. We do this as a free service to the scientific community! Members of the scientific community are encouraged to submit their targets of interest to CSGID by using our online form: Submit/check your proposal now!
For more detailed information about our mission, please refer to the CSGID brochure (pdf) and the Overview.

May 2020: CSGID work on structures of protein from SARS-CoV-2 has been featured in an article in Nature.
April, 2020: CSGID researchers have determined multiple proteins structures from SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus causing COVID-19. This research has identified a new potential drug target for the SARS CoV-2 virus
