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 $188,544 to support research on the role of the SAMHD1 protein in regulating the body's immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The research aims to better understand the molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 infection alters SAMHD1 phosphorylation and how this impacts inflammation and antiviral immunity in lung and airway epithelial cells. The research will utilize in vitro models of primary human airway epithelial cell cultures as well as an in vivo mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. By accomplishing the proposed multidisciplinary studies, the researchers seek to define the mechanisms by which SAMHD1 regulates SARS-CoV-2 replication, inflammation, and antiviral innate immunity, which could inform the development of future treatments and interventions for COVID-19. The project will be conducted by researchers at the University of Iowa over the period from November 2024 to October 2026.
