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 $254,250 to New York University (NYU) from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The funding supports research to understand how pathogenic alphaviruses, such as chikungunya virus, infect and spread through human microvascular endothelial cells. The research aims to identify viral and host factors that restrict alphavirus infection in these critical vascular cells, with the goal of developing new strategies to block virus dissemination and disease. The award leverages NYU's expertise in biomedical research and infectious disease studies to advance scientific understanding and identify potential therapeutic targets.
