Open Philanthropy recommended a gift of $1,425,475 over three years to the University of Washington to support work led by Professor Chetan Seshadri analyzing T-cell receptors derived from individuals resistant to tuberculosis (TB) as leads for designing novel TB vaccines.
Our science team believes that this work will also be broadly relevant to scientific tools, immunology, and tuberculosis vaccines.
This follows our February 2023 support and falls within our focus area of scientific research, specifically within our interest in transformative basic science.
