A multiyear NIH grant awarded to the University of Pittsburgh to study immune responses to influenza vaccine in older and obese adults using advanced molecular and computational methods.
Description
The project involves deep molecular and genomic profiling of immune responses to influenza vaccine, focusing on older and obese populations. It uses machine learning and systems biology approaches to identify molecular markers and pathways to improve vaccine responses. The award is multiyear, starting in FY 2026.
