Caroline Jones, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science and Center for Engineered Health faculty, received a $1.85 million MIRA R35 grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to study the factors that underlie the decision-making processes that determine immune cell migration, differentiation, and activation in response to sepsis.
Her collaboration with Liwu Li, a professor of biological sciences in the College of Science, and Center for Engineered Health faculty, has resulted in a paper ,published in Frontiers in Immunology.
