This Project Grant award of $5,715,866 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to develop a novel, transformative understanding of the early pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) to enable new strategies for pre-clinical disease detection and prevention. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, leads a highly integrated program with 4 research projects and 3 supporting cores. Key objectives include using cutting-edge technologies like single-cell transcriptomics and spatial genomics to investigate the molecular, genetic, and environmental drivers of early PF progression. The program will leverage an ongoing cohort study of asymptomatic relatives of PF patients to gain new insights into pre-clinical disease mechanisms. Two sub-awards support specialized research services from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Translational Genomics Research Institute. The overarching goal is to reshape the understanding of PF natural history and develop new approaches for early disease risk stratification and prevention.
