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 $553,342 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on CD4+ T cell response to food antigens. The research aims to understand how exposure to food peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) molecules leads to the formation of regulatory T (Treg) cells and a...
This $261,492 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to elucidate the impact of DNA methylation on the physiology of Clostridioides difficile, a major nosocomial pathogen. The research aims to identify specific methylation sites that regulate C. difficile sporulation, which enhances the bacterium's ability to persist. This effort builds on prior work...

The key research activities involve: Performing massively parallel...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $533,907.00 to Rutgers, The State University to investigate the role of the epigenetic regulator TET3 in protecting intestinal epithelial cells against inflammatory stressors. The project aims to decipher the mechanisms by which TET3-mediated DNA oxidation and transcriptional...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) for $516,648 supports research to investigate whether intestinal stem cells (ISCs) maintain an "inflammatory memory" following exposure to helminth infection, and how this impacts their regenerative capacity. The funded project, led by investigators at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), aims to...
The General Hospital Corporation (MGH) was awarded a $822,642 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on September 1, 2023 under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant will fund a prospective cohort study to identify microbiome, metabolomic, and immune profiles associated with the development of celiac disease autoimmunity in high-risk infants. Specific objectives include maintaining the existing birth cohort infrastructure, investigating the...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) provides $146,922 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the role of gut protist-derived compounds in modulating dietary antigen-presenting dendritic cells in celiac disease. The key objectives are to gain insights into how the gut protist Tritrichomonas arnold promotes oral tolerance and protects against...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to elucidate the genotype-phenotype relationships and underlying mechanisms of celiac disease (CED) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The $580,274 award, with a performance period from August 19, 2024, to July 31, 2029, will fund a collaborative multi-PI effort between researchers at Hackensack University Medical Center (HMH Hospitals Corporation) and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The key objectives are to: 1) map allele-specific DNA methylation (ASM) footprints under CED and IBD GWAS peaks across relevant cell types, including intestinal epithelial cells; 2) test the role of polymorphic transcription factor binding motifs as the underlying mechanism driving ASM at disease risk loci; and 3) investigate how external environmental factors modulate ASM and transcription factor expression in intestinal cells. This research aims to uncover disease-specific and cell type-specific transcriptional and epigenetic pathways that are both genotype-dependent and sensitive to the cellular environment, with implications for advancing precision medicine approaches for CED and IBD.
