Hear from 2024 SPARK finalist, Kazumasa Suzuki, M.D., Ph.D. about the project he is proposing for a 2024 SPARK Tullie and Rickey Families SPARK Award, and the impact this funding could have on his research and career. His SPARK project seeks to answer the question, “How do regulatory T cells become corrupted to drive autoimmune disease?” More information about this project and The Tullie and Rickey Families SPARK Awards for Innovations for Immunology is available at: donate.lji.org...
About the SPARK program: The Tullie and Rickey Families SPARK Awards for Innovations in Immunology provides flexible start-up funding that enables LJI’s early career investigators to act on their promising projects for bold new approaches to diagnoses, treatments, and possibly even cures for diseases that afflict us today. It fills the gap between scientists’ imagination and that first solid set of data that allows them to attract additional funding to further their research and ultimately make life-saving discoveries. Each year, LJI receives dozens of proposals from its graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. A panel that includes Institute scientists, board members, and top business leaders reviews the proposals, selects the finalists, and has each of them present their projects in person. The finalists are then ranked in order to receive funding based on the total amount raised for the SPARK program each year from donor contributions. Each SPARK award provides $25,000 in funding that must be spent within eight months.
