Project Grant R01AI187511
- This $194,940 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) with a start date of August 12, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2030. The primary goal of this research project is to discover the global human genetic regulators, including genes and genetic variants, that control macrophage antimicrobial responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection....
- This Project Grant award of $104,262, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to explore the relationship between genetic variants, transcriptional responses, and tuberculosis (TB) infection outcomes in macrophages derived from genetically diverse mice. The project aims to understand the basis for variability in TB infection outcomes, which may help identify ways to...
- This $209,408 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program, supports a research project to characterize the role of unconventional T cell subsets in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection using a non-human primate model. The goal is to gain a better understanding of these niche T cell populations in the lung granulomas during the early stages of MTB...
- This federal Project Grant award of $743,817 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to delineate T cell receptor (TCR) families associated with protection from progression to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) disease. The research will use advanced imaging techniques like fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) to identify TB-exposed household...
- This Project Grant award of $2,944,529 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to understand resistance and tolerance to the tuberculosis (TB) drugs pretomanid (PA) and delamanid (DLM) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The goal is to apply innovative genome-wide screens to identify the MTB genes that determine PA/DLM potency, analyze the key resistance determinant...
- This $193,375 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to identify bacterial determinants that may contribute to variable treatment responses for tuberculosis (TB). The project, conducted by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, aims to investigate the effects of clinically prevalent variants in the ESX1 secretion system on TB...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), through the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will provide $785,511 to the University of Chicago to characterize individual and population-level variability in immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) and influenza virus infections. The research will leverage induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages to study the genetic and epigenetic factors...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a 5-year, $1,640,492 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to study the role of the ESX5 secretome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in TB and TB-HIV pathogenesis and immunity. The researchers generated a genetic deletion of the ESX5 locus, which they found produced a live attenuated vaccine that is highly effective at preventing TB in...
- This five-year, $813,838 project grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will fund research into the genetic and hormonal mechanisms underlying sex differences in tuberculosis (TB) and TB-HIV coinfection. The Johns Hopkins University will investigate how X chromosome complement and sex steroid hormones impact TB pathogenesis using cellular models, animal studies, and human samples. Researchers will utilize a novel four core genotype mouse model to differentiate the...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID, CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research), provides $466,500.00 in funding to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on the bacterial genetic basis underlying the transmissibility of tuberculosis (TB). The project aims to: (1) identify key mutations that drive high transmissibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) using a global collection of...
This Project Grant award of $802,499, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.855), aims to characterize the genetic factors involved in tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility and their interaction with the immune system. The key objectives are to: 1) generate population-level genetic data on 5,000 case-control samples from diverse South African populations to identify genetic markers associated with TB; 2) perform functional assays to test newly discovered genetic variants and their impact on natural killer cell function; and 3) develop statistical models to associate genetic variation in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes with TB disease susceptibility. This research seeks to improve understanding of how human genetic diversity shapes immune responses and TB outcomes, with the goal of informing new strategies for disease prevention and treatment.
