The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $422,125 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Florida. The grant will fund research to develop a Salmonella-based vaccine that can deliver Francisella type VI secretion system proteins as antigens to induce protective immunity against tularemia, a potentially deadly infectious disease. The research aims to leverage an established Salmonella antigen delivery platform to introduce Francisella virulence factors into phagocytic cells, with the goal of eliciting a protective immune response. This 2-year project builds on prior work studying bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms and will be conducted at the University of Florida from July 2025 through June 2027.
