Researchers at Emory University received $5.1 million in life science research funding from the NIH this past June. The title of the project receiving funding is “B-Cell Biology of Mucosal Immune Protection from SIV Challenge,” and the project leader is Eric Hunter, PhD. Dr. Hunter’s area of expertise is HIV/AIDS. According to the Emory University webpage, his research focuses on understanding virus-cell interactions, how independently targeted capsid and glycoprotein molecules are brought to the assembly site, what pathways are used, and what roles cell- and virus- encoded gene products assume while this is going on. The NIH RePORTER provides more information on the project receiving $5.1 million in life science funding:

A great deal of life science funding was awarded to Duke University on June 14th, 2013 when the NIH gave researchers $13.8 million to study the induction of protective B-cell responses to HIV-1. The study’s project leader, Barton Haynes, is Director of the Human Vaccine Institute in the Department of Medicine. According to the Duke University website, Dr. Haynes’s laboratory is interested in researching host innate and adaptive immune responses to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), and influenza so that they can understand better ways to make preventive vaccines against these three infectious diseases. The NIH RePORTER goes into more detail about the project receiving $13.8 million in NIH life science research funding:

“In 2007, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (DAB) and its affiliates completed three important, large- scale strategic planning efforts. Together, these processes generated a ‘blueprint for our research future’ that lays the foundation to transform our substantial clinical and translational research enterprise through integration and innovation across all disciplines, schools, and our health care system,” says the University of Alabama’s abstract for its Center for Clinical and Translational Science on the NIH RePORTER. The Center for Clinical and Translational Science received a $5.1 million award last year.
