The ISAC award provides seed funding for exceptionally innovative, disruptive (high-risk/high-reward) research relevant to the NIDDK Division of Kidney, Urologic, & Hematologic Diseases that has the potential to lead to groundbreaking or paradigm-shifting results that will change the field.
The von Blume lab investigates how neutrophils, frontline defenders against infections, are armed with proteins in distinct granule types. Regulated exocytosis activates them for chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and bacteria eradication. Yet, the molecular mechanisms of granule formation are unclear, limiting treatments for neutropenic disorders. The von Blume lab will investigate molecular mechanisms of neutrophil granule biogenesis that could pave the way for powerful therapeutic strategies. This project will be performed in collaboration with Shangqin Guo’s Yale Stem Cell Center lab.

Assemblies of tiny molecular proteins span the membranes that encapsulate our cells, directing cellular activities and regulating the transport of materials and information in and out. Scientists at the Yale Nanobiology Institute have decoded a chemical signal that allows them to capture these biological interactions directly from their natural habitat.
