This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $420,251 to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to develop encapsulated cell-based oncolytic virus therapy for brain tumors. The project aims to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) armed with oncolytic herpes simplex virus (OHSV) by co-delivering immunomodulators such as interleukin-12 and anti-PD-1 nanobodies. The research will be conducted in syngeneic glioblastoma (GBM) models of surgical resection to investigate the synergistic effects of OHSV, immunomodulators, and immune checkpoint blockade in targeting residual tumor cells after surgery. The award period is from May 6, 2025 to March 31, 2030.
