This funding comes through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and will be used for a variety of programs and research projects. “This funding will be used to continue important work at St. Jude, one of the world’s finest health care institutions,” said Congressman Cohen. Today’s announcement includes funding for the following St. Jude projects: $445,000 in funding for the “Innate Gut Epithelial Mechanisms of Immunity” project, which aims to identify interacting genetic pathways in humans and their resident bacteria that work to regulate bacterial colonization and its downstream effects on human physiology. $379,851 in funding for the “Kir-Favorable Haploidentical Transplantation In Children” project, which is focused on developing novel bone marrow transplantation for leukemia patients without a matched donor. $363,120 in funding for the “E3-mediated Ubiquitin-like Protein Ligation” project, which aims to gain fundamental understandings of a pathway called the ubiquitin cascade that regulates thousands of human proteins by changing their functions as needed. Defects in the ubiquitin pathway have been associated with numerous human diseases, including developmental disorders, cancers, neurodegeneration and infections. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
