Award for research on immunosuppressive neutrophils in lung transplantation to develop lung-specific immunosuppressive strategies, funded by NHLBI for $166,364.
Description
The project focuses on how innate immune cells affect adaptive immunity after lung transplantation. The research aims to develop lung-specific immunosuppressive strategies using techniques such as flow cytometry, histopathology, single-cell RNA sequencing, and intravital 2-photon imaging. The award is funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) with a total cost of $166,364 for fiscal year 2026. The project duration is from August 15, 2025, to July 31, 2030. The primary investigator is Dr. Amit Indra Bery, an Instructor of Medicine at Washington University.
