This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $773,257 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Inc. to investigate the mechanisms of lysosome segregation and cell fate regulation in dividing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The research aims to identify factors regulating lysosome segregation during HSC division and how this process influences HSC self-renewal and...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $435,804 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program to Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant will fund research to elucidate the mechanistic basis for the selective advantage of the acquired DDX41R525H mutation in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) of patients with germline DDX41 mutations, who develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and related myeloid malignancies. The...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $169,156 to The Washington University in St. Louis to support a 5-year research program focused on optimizing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat non-malignant diseases, particularly sickle cell disease (SCD). The key objectives are to: 1) Evaluate novel stem cell mobilization regimens combining VLA-4 and CXCR4 inhibition to generate...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $561,030 to the Children's Research Institute to study the impact of CD52 knockout on the function of multi-virus-specific T cells. The goal is to determine if CD52 knockout can enable T cell persistence and efficacy in the presence of the immunosuppressive drug alemtuzumab. Key activities include optimizing CRISPR/Cas9 editing of virus-specific T cells,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $153,117 to support a 5-year research project focused on improving hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC) transplantation outcomes. The goal is to investigate mechanisms of HSPC-niche cell crosstalk, specifically how HSPC-derived extracellular vesicles promote remodeling of bone marrow endothelial cells and migration of HSPCs. The...

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $1,999,247 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, OH. The grant, entitled "Allogeneic Virus-Specific T-Cell Therapy After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Determinants of Treatment Success and Failure", aims to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying success and failure of virus-specific T-cell (VST) therapy in treating infections caused by double-stranded DNA viruses that commonly occur after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The research will utilize pre- and post-infusion patient samples to explore both patient- and virus-specific factors that contribute to VST treatment response. Childrens Hospital Medical Center has subcontracted portions of the work to the Children's Research Institute in Washington, D.C. and the University of Cincinnati. The project period runs from August 2024 through May 2029.
