About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $500,000 cooperative agreement to Rochester Institute of Technology on July 23, 2026, to develop novel therapeutic approaches for warfighter injury under the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910).
RIT will evaluate whether extracellular vesicles from plants and commensal bacteria can protect the human blood-brain barrier from disruption caused by pathogenic bacterial extracellular vesicles. The work includes EV characterization, microphysiological blood-brain barrier co-culture modeling, and omics profiling to identify promising EV-based therapeutic countermeasures. This fundamental research seedling supports DARPA's Biological Technologies Office under BAA HR001126S0003.
Performance is located in New York. The period of performance extends through January 22, 2027.
Description
Specifically, this fundamental research seedling evaluates whether extracellular vesicles (EVS) from plants and commensal bacteria can protect the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) from disruption caused by pathogenic bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVS). The recipient will conduct EV characterization, microphysiological BBB CO-culture modeling, and omics profiling to identify promising EV-based therapeutic countermeasures.
