This Project Grant award for $249,000.00 was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant supports the development of methodologies to reveal the role of the blood microbiome in the gut-lung axis for asthma pathogenesis. The research will involve creating a strain-resolved computational pipeline for reduced metagenomic sequencing to profile the blood microbiome, and developing a deep-learning framework to optimize diagnosis and prediction models for asthma using blood microbiome data. This work will leverage an ongoing clinical trial, the "Vitamin D Antenatal Asthma Reduction Trial," to investigate the connection between the blood microbiome and asthma. The grant recipient is Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc., a prominent academic medical center and research institution in Boston, Massachusetts that is affiliated with Harvard Medical School and part of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system.
