This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $486,109 to Mayo Clinic Arizona to investigate methods for amplifying type 2 immune responses of eosinophils in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). The project aims to define the role of IL-33 signaling and the transcription factor IRF1 in promoting eosinophil-mediated type 2 immune responses to improve resolution of endotoxemia-induced lung injury. The award supports a 2-year research project from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027 that will utilize mouse models and novel single-cell analysis techniques to better understand how eosinophils can contribute to repair and recovery in ALI/ARDS.
