Lena Pernas, PhD., David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California-Los Angeles: “Organellar sensing of microbes”
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., 20 May 2024- The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is delighted to announce the 2024 recipients of the Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease (PATH) program. PATH provides opportunities for assistant professors to study the points where the systems of humans and potentially infectious agents connect. PATH is a highly competitive award program that provides $500,000 over five years to study pathogenesis. The program intends to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue new avenues of inquiry, stimulating higher-risk research projects that hold potential for significantly advancing our understanding of how infectious diseases work and how health is maintained. The Burroughs Wellcome Fund presents the following scientists as the 2024 PATH program recipients: Kimberly Davis, PhD Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Utilizing a 3D human abscess model to uncover antibiotic persistence mechanisms Tera Levin, PhD University of Pittsburgh How mechanisms of pathogenesis arise from environmental battlegrounds Monica Mugnier, PhD Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Role of extravascular spaces in Trypanosoma brucei antigenic variation Teresa Omeara, PhD University of Michigan Discovery and functional analysis of novel virulence factors in Candida auris Lena Pernas, PhD David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California-Los […]
