Congressman Cohen Announces $369,600 Grant for St. Jude

Dr. Taylor’s research aims to understand how the innate immune system recognize and respond to pathogens and how mutations in these sensing systems affect the development of infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases in humans.

“I am grateful to HHS for their continued support of the important research being undertaken by scientists in the 9th District like Dr. Kanneganti,” said Congressman Cohen. “Thanks to the hard work and tireless efforts of the dedicated scientists at St. Jude, the Mid-South continues to emerge as one of the premier biomedical centers in the United States.”
