The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $117,144 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) for the period June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028. This K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award supports Dr. Jessica Stewart's transition to an independent research career focused on understanding how Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) suppresses uracil DNA repair mechanisms to promote B-cell lymphomagenesis. The funding supports a two-phase research initiative designed to develop investigator capacity and establish an independent research program examining oncogenic virus-host DNA repair interactions. During the mentored K99 phase, Dr. Stewart will investigate how EBV suppresses uracil excision and identify viral gene products that impair uracil repair, while also characterizing the function of the host factor FAM72A through structural studies and interactome mapping. The independent R00 phase will focus on defining how unresolved uracils alter DNA repair pathway usage and identifying repair vulnerabilities that support EBV-driven B-cell transformation. These research activities aim to advance understanding of viral oncogenesis mechanisms and contribute to the NCI's strategic priorities in cancer research workforce development and biomedical training.Federal Grant Award Summary
