Project Grant R01HL177930
- This $136,050 Project Grant was awarded on June 30, 2025 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program, to Tufts University School of Medicine. The grant supports research to characterize lung resident B1 cells and their impact on lung homeostasis during development. The research aims to investigate the functional role of B1 cells in developing lungs and their contribution to maintaining lung homeostasis, which...
- This Project Grant award of $715,180 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to understand the epigenetic regulation of trained immunity in thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. The objective is to determine how monocytes/macrophages in the aortic wall are trained to exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, with the goal of identifying key pathways driving this process. The research will be conducted by Baylor...
- The federal Project Grant award of $108,978.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying the age-related decline in the regenerative capacity of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells in the lung. The principal investigator and research team at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will conduct studies to determine whether elevated interferon gamma (IFNG) levels and changes in resident...
- This Project Grant award for $1,063,324 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research on CD4+ T cell immunity in the respiratory tract, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying host defense against extracellular pathogens, particularly in the area of Type 17 cytokines and tissue resident memory CD4+ T cells. The research will utilize murine and primate respiratory tract samples to assess the metabolic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $754,729 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the mechanisms by which respiratory viral infections, including COVID-19, can lead to persistent lung inflammation and damage. The research aims to understand how viral antigen persistence in pulmonary endothelial cells drives chronic activation of CD8+ T cells, leading to long-term pulmonary sequelae. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $760,759 to the University of Illinois to examine the immunoregulatory role of a specific dendritic cell subset, CX3CR1+CDC2, in allergic lung inflammation. The project aims to characterize the anti-inflammatory functions of this cell population and its impact on regulatory T cell development and the resolution of allergic asthma symptoms. Through the use of novel...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $425,505 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport (LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport) to investigate the role of cell-specific Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) in cardiac pathophysiology following ischemic injury and cancer. The project aims to elucidate the specific mechanisms by which fibroblast-specific and myeloid...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $773,868 to Baylor College of Medicine to elucidate the mechanisms regulating inflammation and the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH). The award aims to use well-established murine models and human biosamples to examine the mechanistic and therapeutic potential of Tregs in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $958,850 to Yale University to conduct research aimed at interrupting pro-inflammatory pulmonary-vascular cell interactions in order to reduce pulmonary capillary leak in critically ill children with bronchiolitis. The overarching goal is to understand the regulation of interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling in bronchiolitis, establish disease severity markers, and...
- This Project Grant award of $147,486 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of inflammatory signaling in the migration and function of ectopic KRT5+ cells during severe respiratory viral injuries. The research will assess whether canonical NF-kB signaling is necessary for the expansion and migration of these ectopic cells, which have been associated with the development of pulmonary fibrosis following viral...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to investigate the detrimental effects of the B-cell-Th17 axis on antiviral immunity in smokers. The $799,998 award to Baylor College of Medicine aims to determine the mechanism by which cigarette smoking impairs the development of long-term protective flu-specific B cell immunity. The research will focus on understanding how smoking-induced increases in IL-17A levels impact the differentiation and function of T follicular helper cells and dendritic cells, ultimately reducing flu-specific antibody production and virus-specific memory B cell development. The project period runs from September 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030.
