NIAID/NIH Filariasis Research Reagent Resource Center (FR3)

Welcome!

The expanding services of the FR3 now include an updated website designed to meet the changing needs of the filarial research community.  Our new site includes:

  • descriptions of the roles of the three FR3 locations
  • more protocols for organismal and molecular work
  • data analysis resources for filarial bioinformatics
  • news and events related to tropical disease

We invite you to contribute to our site by providing suggestions, protocols, and images/video to Shelly Michalski (michalsk@uwosh.edu).
 

Annual FR3 Minicourse March 9-12, 2010

The FR3 offers a free, hands-on minicourse to introduce students, postdocs, PIs, university professors, and industry representatives to organismal and molecular techniques commonly used in filariasis research.  Learn more here.
 

New NIH Solicitation:  Nomination of Human Eukaryotic Pathogens and Invertebrate Vectors of Infectious Diseases for Genomic Sequencing

This Request seeks scientific community nominations of additional human eukaryotic pathogens and invertebrate vectors of infectious diseases to be considered by NHGRI and NIAID as candidates for genomic sequencing.  A  joint NHGRI/NIAID initiative on Pathogens and Vectors.
 

FR3 Logo Contest - Now You Can See the Competition! (Eight designs currently entered)

Do you have underutilized artistic skills?  We're calling on all FR3 users to help us design a logo that can be used on official communications, advertisements and displays.  Check out the logo used by the NIH NIAID MR4 (Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center) for inspiration.  The winner of our contest will not only have the honor of their creation symbolizing the FR3, but will also win a FANTASTIC prize that will make them the envy of all their peers - a T shirt silkscreened with the new logo!  Click here to see the competition!  Submit all entries to Shelly Michalski (michalsk@uwosh.edu) by February 1, 2010. 

New FR3 Orders

We hope that the transition of submitting orders through the new website is smooth, and that the process is more user friendly.  To be safe, please download your order confirmations in .pdf format and store them in case there are problems in transmission.  Should you encounter any problems, please contact the ordering person at the facility (Parasite Resources or Molecular Resources) that you are using, and have a copy ready in case they need it to process your order.

Filaria Pictures Now Availabe

A new section highlighting exceptional pictures and videos of filariasis, filarial worms, and their vectors is now available.  Want to show off your favorite captured images?  Please submit your entries to Shelly Michalski (michalsk@uwosh.edu).
