Through December 2025, UNC-Chapel Hill researchers will take an integrative...
This $361,227 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how insect immune systems interact with beneficial and pathogenic microbes across different aphid host species. The project, conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, aims to use transcriptome sequencing and immune assays to test the hypothesis that host immune suppression is a key mechanism enabling...
This $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070) supports research investigating the "pandemic lifecycle" through three collaborating institutions in North Carolina. Duke University serves as the primary awardee and will lead efforts to establish working groups examining fundamental questions around how infectious diseases spread locally and regionally. A pilot study aims to develop simulation...
This $425,486 federal Project Grant award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The project aims to study the evolutionary history and functional diversification of the CD300 gene family, which encodes immune receptors implicated in human health issues like cancer, inflammation, and viral infections. Using a multi-omic approach, the research will map the molecular and...
