This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA Program 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, is funding a $556,843 research initiative at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the development and regulation of the extrafollicular B cell response. The key objectives are to: Examine the role of B cells in enhancing the extrafollicular response and test the self-renewal capacity of the extrafollicular B cell population....
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), will support research on manipulating the DNA damage response and proteome on viral genomes during herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. The $651,832 award, with a project period from November 2024 to October 2029, will enable researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to conduct a multi-modal proteomic...
This Project Grant award of $877,104 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research supports research to investigate the interactions between Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), mononuclear phagocytes, and B cells, and how KSHV establishes long-term latency in B cells. The research, conducted by Brigham & Women's Hospital, a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System, will use computational...
This Project Grant award of $1,527,730 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports a longitudinal study among African Americans to investigate the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and molecular mimicry as potential causes of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study will leverage pre-diagnostic serum samples and clinical data from over 10 million active duty U.S. military personnel to assess antibody responses...
This $189,540 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research supports research to understand the role of apolipoprotein E (APOE) in regulating lymph node stromal cell function and lipid metabolism during autoimmune disease. The research aims to determine how APOE inhibits the suppressive capacity of lymph node stromal cells, known as T cell zone fibroblastic reticular cells (TRCs), and how APOE...
This federal Project Grant award of $183,701 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program. The award will support a research project at the University of Pittsburgh titled "Identification of Post-Translationally Modified Antigens Using Genetic Code Expansion". The project aims to develop a scalable platform for presenting thousands of epitopes with precisely defined...
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 $318,085 to support research on the role of antibodies in controlling virus infections through Fc-dependent mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC). The research aims to elucidate the...
This Project Grant award of $1,454,386.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports fundamental research to better understand the epigenetic regulation of the HIV-1 viral RNA cap. The research aims to define the structural basis of HIV cap hypermethylation and its linkage to modulating host innate immune signaling, with the goal of developing new treatments to neutralize deleterious...
This $427,627 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to investigate how gamma herpesvirus infection impacts key pathogenic interactions between B cells and CD4 T cells in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The research aims to determine how viral infection affects B cells' support of disease-driving CD4 T cells, and how this impacts B cell-dependent versus B...
This $411,499 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) aims to establish PARP14 as a novel host restriction factor that represses Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) replication. Through in vitro studies and in vivo mouse models, the research will determine how PARP14 binds to the HSV-1 genome and inhibits virus replication. The findings could lead to a greater understanding of how PARP...

This $691,788 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of the ASB13 protein in regulating the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) life cycle. The research aims to determine the mechanisms by which ASB13 inhibits SYK signaling and viral protein stability to restrict EBV lytic replication, as well as elucidate how ASB13 degradation facilitates EBV reactivation. The findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of EBV-associated diseases and inform the development of potential targeted therapies. The award has a period of performance from July 2025 to June 2030.
