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 $558,501 to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct research on the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV). The overarching goal is to address critical gaps in understanding the architecture, assembly, and functions of the CCHFV glycoprotein components and complexes, and their roles in virion...
This $125,160 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to characterize a novel bacterial immune system at The Ohio State University. The project aims to use cryogenic electron microscopy and biochemical/cellular assays to define the structure, assembly mechanisms, and functions of a two-component (A and B) complex involved in anti-phage defense. The research seeks to provide a...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $472,210.00, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The purpose of the award is to investigate the spatiotemporal relationship between CD4+ T resident memory cells and neutrophil recruitment in the lungs during pneumonia, while developing a transcriptional atlas of immune processes in the experienced lung. Key objectives include...
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 $318,085.00 to conduct research on the role of cell, antigen, and antibody in controlling virus infection through Fc-dependent mechanisms.

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $244,440.00 to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct research on how Ly6C+ monocytes respond to and help clear microbial pathogen infections. The research aims to define the chemotactic cues, receptors, and mechanisms involved in how these monocytes home to infection sites and form stable clusters to deliver local effector functions that contribute to pathogen clearance. The project will use a combination of in vivo genetic experiments, multiple infection models, intravital microscopy imaging, and in vitro assays to explore these processes. The award period runs from January 14, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
