This Project Grant award of $162,000.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to characterize the role of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The goal is to identify pDC-specific therapeutic targets that could lead to host-directed therapies for tuberculosis. The 2-year project, running from Jun 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027, will leverage advanced...
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 $800,200 to study the mechanisms of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-independent T cell and B cell-mediated protection against tuberculosis (TB) in humans. The research aims to elucidate the IFN-γ-independent T cell response and characterize the B cell, antibody, and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell responses in...
This Project Grant award of $774,881, 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 develop pro-apoptotic small molecule host-directed therapies (HDTs) for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The research aims to utilize these novel HDTs to shorten TB treatment duration, enhance antibiotic penetration, and prevent post-TB lung disease. The project leverages...
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), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), will support research to identify and characterize the specific proteins secreted by the ESX5 transport system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). The $820,246 award to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine will be used to investigate the roles of these secreted proteins in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, is funding research to investigate how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection triggers host cell death mechanisms. The $819,998 award to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) aims to elucidate the regulatory roles of autophagy factors TAX1BP1 and optineurin in modulating MTB pathogenesis and host cell death...
This federal Project Grant award of $489,500.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports the establishment of a novel human lung alveolar epithelial cell organoid model to study Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection and host innate immune responses. The primary objectives are to develop a physiologically relevant in vitro platform using human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) to...
This Project Grant award, totaling $902,964.00, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports research to evaluate mechanisms that restrain or enhance alveolar macrophage (AM) responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the causative agent of tuberculosis, with the goal of understanding the regulation of early events during MTB infection. The key...
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 $1,503,349 to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to study the ontogeny (origin) and metabolism of lung alveolar macrophages and their role in tuberculosis (TB) infection. The overarching goal is to understand how the origin and metabolic pathways of these immune cells impact their...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a Project Grant valued at $718,758 to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant is focused on evaluating the use of IL-21-IgFc fusion protein as a host-directed immunotherapy to improve immune reconstitution and reduce the risk of latent tuberculosis (TB) reactivation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)...
