Systems Biology of Infection and Inflammation in Chronic Diseases (U19 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This grant supports research that advances systems-level understanding of how infectious pathogens interact with inflammatory pathways to influence chronic disease predisposition, onset, and progression. It funds projects that integrate clinical and patient data, large-scale omics, advanced AI, and computational modeling to prevent, treat, and mitigate the combined impacts of chronic diseases, inflammation, and infections.
