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 $774,881 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop novel cell death mechanism-based small molecule host-directed therapies (HDTs) for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The research aims to leverage advanced in vivo imaging and high-dimensional immunophenotyping to gain mechanistic insights on the use of pro-apoptotic drugs to shorten treatments for drug-susceptible and multi-drug resistant TB, as well as prevent post-TB lung disease. The project will utilize cutting-edge technologies and cross-disciplinary expertise to advance CDM-based small molecule HDT approaches, which have the potential to significantly improve TB treatment outcomes and reduce associated long-term morbidity.
