The University of Washington was awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' (NIAID) Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant, with an award date of August 9, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2025, will fund research to investigate the role of the "necroptosis" cell death pathway in activating inflammatory transcription programs and modulating the immune response to influenza A...
This 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 $187,398 to investigate the role of the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in regulating dendritic cell migration and T cell priming. The primary objectives are to: 1) Define which extracellular interactions between PD-L1 and CD80 regulate dendritic cell migration, and 2) Determine how PD-L1 intracellular signals...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), is funding a $264,750 research initiative at the University of Washington. The project, titled "Integrin-Mediated Regulation of Type-1 Dendritic Cell Positioning and Function in Lymph Nodes," aims to elucidate the role of the CD11a integrin in regulating the positioning and cell-cell interactions of lymph node-resident dendritic cells (DC1). The research will investigate how this positioning impacts the transfer of tumor antigens between migratory and resident DC subsets, and the subsequent generation of anti-tumor CD8 T cell responses. By enhancing the understanding of cellular organization and crosstalk within lymphoid organs, this project has the potential to inform the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer.
