The National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital, $393,689 in project grant funding on August 10, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The award funds research defining mechanisms that couple nutrient sensing to functional programs in non-malignant mammalian cells. The research program centers on how physiologic variation in essential nutrients and metal ions controls cell state transitions that preserve tissue integrity, with specific focus on macrophages as metabolic sensors. The investigator's laboratory integrates cell biology, perturbational studies, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and imaging to build mechanistic models of nutrient-sensing pathways and downstream adaptive responses. The research has identified two diet-derived nutrients that elicit robust macrophage responses across physiologically relevant concentration ranges and form the basis of the research strategy. Work is performed in Boston, Massachusetts, with a period of performance extending from August 10, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The assistance type is Project Grant, a mechanism supporting investigator-initiated biomedical research within NIGMS's mission areas.
