What is LymeMIND? 

http://lymemind.org

We are building a multiscale integrated network of Lyme Disease (LymeMIND) that will represent a unified, predictive model of Lyme disease.

LymeMIND will enable a systems medicine approach to identify novel biomarkers and new therapeutic opportunities. We are working with a network of collaborators to interrogate the complex biology of samples collected from Lyme-affected individuals using molecular profiling technologies, and applying advanced statistical and machine learning approaches to move rapidly from “Big Data” to knowledge and improved understanding of the disease.

Why Lyme

Lyme disease, caused by bacteria infected ticks, infects an estimated 300,000 people each year in the United States.
The disease is known to be profoundly complex, involving multiple tissues and organs systems that result in complex interactions between host and pathogen. The natural history of disease is also comp
