Success Story 1
NIH / Global Research Initiative Program for New Foreign
Investigators (GRIP)
Role of CD3delta in T-lymphocyte function
PI: Batu Erman
Duration: 2007-2012
Budget: $250.000
 The NIH GRIP promotes research projects to address health issues of
global importance.
 This project will investigate the function of a critical receptor protein
complex named T Cell Receptor (TCR) that is found on T lymphocytes
which make up the human immune system. We will use molecular and
cellular biology techniques to Investigate T lymphocytes in tissue
culture and we will generate transgenic animals to examine immune
system function.
Success Story 2
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
Installation Grant
“DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS OF NEW AUTOPHAGIC
CELL DEATH PROTEINS AND PATHWAYS”
This research project aims at identifying novel genes
and proteins playing a role in the regulation of an important cellular event
called autophagy.
Autophagy abnormalities are observed in human diseases including
Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Therefore, the outcomes of this project
may include discovery of new drug targets, drug-like molecules, new
diagnosis and treatment modalities for major health problems.
