Sepideh Dolatshahi develops new systems biology approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of immune regulation and dysregulation, with an ultimate objective of identifying strategies to improve immunotherapies. She recently received a $100,000 seed funding grant from the Jeffress Memorial Trust for a pilot study that hopes to uncover the maternal and placental immune regulatory mechanisms that differentially affect antibody transfer across racial groups.
The Jeffress Trust Program provides $100,000 awards as seed funding to support one-year pilot studies that encourage the development of innovative interdisciplinary strategies that integrate computational and quantitative methods across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
