Award for research on IL-1 signaling in intestinal epithelial cells to control Yersinia infection, funded by NIAID with $75,052 for a project duration from September 1, 2025, to June 9, 2027.
Description
The project focuses on investigating the role of IL-1 signaling in intestinal epithelial cells to control bacterial infections and prevent systemic spread. The project involves advanced techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing and use of barcoded Yersinia bacteria. The research environment at Penn and mentorship from Dr. Sunny Shin and Dr. Igor Brodsky are highlighted.
