Attacking Lyme Disease From All Angles
$5 million gift aims to propel Lyme disease research and education
The gift will fund the following areas:
The neuroimmunology track ($2 million) will attempt to elucidate how the bacterial pathogen behind Lyme disease may influence the interplay between immunity, inflammation and the nervous system during infection.
The mechanisms of Lyme disease track ($2 million) will study the fundamental processes that underlie the development of disease following infection with disease-causing bacteria (most commonly, Borrelia burgdorferi, and more rarely other organisms).
The education track ($1 million) will support efforts to empower the lay public through improved public understanding and prevention of the disease.
