This grant is for resolving critical immunologic and physiologic barriers that currently impede safe and effective xenotransplantation. The Immunobiology of Xenotransplantation Cooperative Research Program (IXCRP) is a multi-center initiative seeking applications to conduct preclinical research. The focus is on robust pig-to-nonhuman primate (NHP) or human decedent models, covering key organs such as pancreatic islet, kidney, heart, lung, or liver xenotransplantation. The primary purpose is to systematically address existing challenges by developing innovative strategies and understanding the underlying mechanisms necessary to ensure long-term graft survival and enhance patient safety. This unique funding opportunity aims to foster highly collaborative efforts, significantly advancing scientific understanding and innovation crucial for the future success of organ transplantation through rigorous preclinical studies.
