This $751,138 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to determine how the metabolism of dendritic cells, a type of immune cell, regulates inflammatory immune responses. The central hypothesis is that the activity of the enzyme glutaminase in dendritic cells controls their ability to activate pro-inflammatory T cells versus regulatory T...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $186,332 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The grant supports a translational bioinformatics research project to discover co-morbidity, genetic, multi-omic, and other risk factors for vancomycin-induced severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (DRESS). The project aims to develop electronic health record phenotyping algorithms for earlier DRESS diagnosis and perform multi-omic analyses to identify genetically regulated traits that vary between DRESS cases and vancomycin-tolerant controls. The goal is to gain mechanistic insights and develop precision medicine approaches for DRESS and other allergic/immunologic conditions.
