LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR INVESTIGATOR PROGRAM

We support high-risk research programs that might otherwise not be funded by conventional sources, and we build community to catalyze innovation.

INVESTIGATOR TEAM AWARDS
CZ Biohub Team Award – Defining Host Responses of Virus-Infected and Uninfected Neighbor Cells

The team will focus on how RNA transmission, alterations in viral and cellular RNA stability, and nutritional status can elicit pro- or anti-viral responses in neighbors, drawing on their expertise in culturing 3D human organoids to provide realistic models for the complex interactions that occur between cells in human tissue.
