NIH funded research project at University of Colorado Denver studying mast cell involvement in lung injury from chemical threats, with a $1.4M multiyear award.
Description
The project aims to confirm the role of mast cells in lung injury caused by chemical threat agents using mouse models and a human lung-on-a-chip model. The project involves research on pulmonary toxicity mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Funded by the NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the project duration is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028, with a total budget of approximately $1.4 million.
