The Cooperative Agreement award, titled "INSPIRE: Innovative Strategies for Personalized Immunotherapies and Reservoir Eradication", is funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The $2,948,452 award to Weill Medical College of Cornell University aims to develop tailored immunological approaches to disrupt HIV-1 latency and enhance cellular/humoral responses to control or eliminate rebound-competent viral reservoirs. Key project focus areas include: 1) Isolating and engineering authentic CD4+ T-cell clones harboring latent HIV-1 proviruses to identify therapeutic strategies, 2) Assessing elimination of reservoir clones through tailored cytotoxic T lymphocyte and natural killer cell-based approaches, and 3) Engineering long-lasting, high-level expression of broadly neutralizing antibodies to control simian-human immunodeficiency virus infections as a proof of concept towards HIV-1 control. The award period runs from July 2025 through May 2030.
