Role of Cytosolic DNA-Multiprotein Interactome in Allergic Airway Inflammation
#NHLBI 1RO1 HL14547 - (01/10/2019 - 12/31/2024)
- Grant funding from National Institutes of Health, NHLBI
- These studies will examine the molecular mechanisms by which nuclear DNA stimulates the development of a DNA-protein interactome in the airway cell cytosolic compartment and examine the effects of targeting components of this interactome on allergic lung inflammation.
