This Project Grant award of $440,000 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will support research to develop a new deep learning approach to investigate the molecular basis of inhalation allergens. The key objectives are to: 1) Optimize a deep learning model called SDAP_AI to predict protein allergenicity using sequence data from the Structural Database of Allergenic Proteins (SDAP 2.0), and 2) Apply SDAP_AI to identify and experimentally validate new potential allergens and IgE epitope peptides of pectate lyase allergens, such as those found in ragweed, mugwort, and sunflower. The research, conducted by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, aims to provide a powerful new computational paradigm to predict protein allergenicity and inform the design of new immunotherapies to reduce the burden of inhalation allergies. The award period is from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
