This federal 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 $447,009 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct research on the early immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The key objectives are to: 1) Categorize alveolar macrophage sensing abilities and defects in responding to MTB pathogen-associated molecular patterns, and screen for novel...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $749,414 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Ohio State University for research on the role of macrophage drug efflux pump MDR1 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) pathogenesis. The primary objectives are to: 1) define the role of MDR1 in M.TB survival in macrophages; 2) determine if HSF1 activation or MDR1 inhibition can shorten M.TB sterilization by TB drugs;...
This $246,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research supports research to investigate the role of lung repair and regeneration pathways in tuberculosis (TB). The award aims to determine the functional role of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway in TB control and reactivation, as well as characterize the cellular mechanisms of BMP pathway activation during TB...
