Key research activities include screening...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $422,125 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Florida. The grant will fund research to develop a Salmonella-based vaccine that can deliver Francisella type VI secretion system proteins as antigens to induce protective immunity against tularemia, a potentially deadly infectious disease. The research aims to leverage an established Salmonella antigen...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $230,000 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the Scripps Research Institute. The purpose of this 2-year grant, with a start date of January 23, 2025, is to evaluate recently discovered neuraminidase broadly neutralizing antibodies (NA BnAbs) for their potential use in a universal influenza vaccine. The research will assess factors such as precursor frequency,...
This 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 $722,958 to the University of Rochester to investigate the role of monocyte-derived galectin-1 in promoting tissue-resident memory T cell responses against influenza virus. The research aims to (1) study monocyte differentiation during immune memory formation after influenza infection, (2) determine how galectin-1...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a 2-year Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) worth $162,000 to The Johns Hopkins University to study how atypical B cells can be used to enhance vaccine responses in immunosuppressed individuals. The research project aims to define populations of immunosuppressed individuals who utilize these atypical CD11c+ B cells, assess their interaction with T cells, and target fatty acid oxidation...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $390,942 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Georgia Tech Research Corp to develop self-assembled peptide nanoparticles as a universal influenza vaccine platform. The goal is to use these nanoparticles to present conserved viral antigens, including hemagglutinin stalk, matrix protein 2 ectodomain, and nucleoprotein, in order to elicit broad, protective immune...

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 $440,700.00 to New York University School of Medicine to conduct research focused on improving HIV vaccine design. The key goals are to: 1) Design and validate an immunogen targeting the V2B neutralization epitope on the HIV/SIV viral spike, and 2) Test the combination of vaccine-elicited anti-V2B...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $404,539 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Rochester General Hospital. The grant will fund the development and evaluation of a novel Haemophilus influenzae lipoprotein fusion vaccine and vaccine platform. Key research objectives include assessing the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of lipidated and fusion protein constructs against nasopharyngeal colonization, ear, and lung infections caused by nontypeable H. influenzae. The project aims to expand understanding of immune mechanisms activated by these lipoprotein vaccine approaches and identify differences in protective efficacy between diacyl and triacyl lipidation. This research represents a broader effort to develop an innovative lipoprotein vaccine platform that may be applied to other pathogens where mucosal colonization is a key step in pathogenesis.
