Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $235,000 to Yale University to support research on preventing dangerous inflammatory responses called “cytokine storms,” which can occur during CAR-T cancer therapy and severe infections like sepsis. Led by Dr. Michael Simons, the research focuses on controlling VISTA, a protein that regulates inflammation in the body.

This falls within our focus area of scientific research.
