- This Project Grant award of $404,032 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), aims to develop a machine learning-powered platform for the discovery of peptide ligands for peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs). The key objective is to create a next-generation peptide discovery system capable of identifying PDC leads within 3 months. The platform will utilize a peptide array designed for enhanced protease...
- The federal Project Grant award of $3,436,588.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program. The award supports research to investigate the role of the TLE3 transcription cofactor in regulating the function and persistence of CD8+ T cells during chronic viral infections and cancer. The research aims to molecularly reconstruct the T cell exhaustion process and identify therapeutic...
- The federal Project Grant award of $1,602,000.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, under the Medical Library Assistance program (CFDA 93.879), will support the development of computational methods for analyzing multiplex immunofluorescence (MIF) imaging data to study the tumor microenvironment. The project aims to leverage a unique MIF dataset from over 2,000 cancer patients across 20 tumor types to develop innovative computational strategies, including spatial...
- This Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (CFDA 93.310 Trans-NIH Research Support) provides $1,400,954.00 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to conduct research on combinatorial engineering of multicellular synthetic immunotherapy systems. The research program aims to: (1) co-optimize chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and synthetic cytokine receptors (SCRs) to enhance anti-tumor immune cell function; (2) co-engineer T cells,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $239,135 to develop a new magnetics-based method for rapidly mapping the mechanical properties of tissues. The goal is to address technical limitations of current scanning probe methods used to study the tumor microenvironment and its impact on T cell function in solid tumors. The award will fund the development and...
- This Project Grant award of $124,134 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower) supports research to investigate the mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment response in immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced colitis. The research aims to define the role of specific T cell subsets recruited from circulation in promoting inflammation and mediating therapeutic response in this condition, which can occur in up to 40% of cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint...
- The New York University (NYU) School of Medicine was awarded a $1,525,500 Project Grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant funding, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports the development of new technologies to address two major bottlenecks in the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy development process: identifying tumor-specific antigens and engineering...
This Project Grant award of $1,512,500.00, provided by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), aims to develop an innovative systems immunopeptidomics framework. The framework will integrate next-generation mass spectrometry, advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, and in vivo T cell studies to elucidate the composition of the self-immunopeptidome across different tissues and cell types. This comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach seeks to challenge the current paradigm that T cells solely activate in response to foreign or abnormal peptides, and instead explore the central regulatory role of self-peptides in modulating T cell responses. If successful, this research could lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies and improved clinical outcomes across various medical fields, including cancer immunotherapy, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. The award is held by Yale University and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2028.
