Overview

Target Identification in Lupus (TIL) Grants

Overview: The Target Identification in Lupus (TIL) program supports ingenious and determined scientific investigators in their quest to bring new understanding of lupus and ways to treat, prevent, and cure it. The program focuses on identifying novel molecular targets for lupus therapy.

Program Focus:

  • Identifying new therapeutic targets in lupus pathogenesis

  • Exploring mechanisms of lupus at the molecular level

  • Supporting diverse research approaches to understand lupus biology

  • Accelerating translation of discoveries toward clinical applications

    • Geographic Scope: United States (institutions include Yale University, University of Washington, New York University School of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, University of Massachusetts Medical School, UT Southwestern Medical Center, The Feinstein Institute, and others)

    Research Areas Funded:

  • Follicular helper T cell targeting

  • Cyclic GAMP pathway in SLE

  • Interferon-stimulated transcription

  • PTPN22 function in B cells

  • T cell-B cell interactions

  • CXCR3 chemokine axis in cutaneous lupus

  • Free glycans and anti-glycan antibodies

  • TLR8 and TLR9 signaling

  • Neutrophil NETosis

  • Antigen presentation pathways
