Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part III, Line 1Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason BRI is a world-renowned medical research institute whose work has resulted in major advances in our understanding of autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. BRI is affiliated with the Virginia Mason Health System, which provides governance oversight and development support through the Virginia Mason Foundation. In 2017, BRI scientists led four international centers for autoimmune disease research and collaborated with colleagues all over the world. These researchers generated 76 scientific publications that were published in prestigious research journals, delivered 133 presentations at domestic and international research conferences and received many major grants. Nearly half of BRIs research faculty also serve as affiliate professors at the University of Washington and mentor postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and summer interns. Their leadership, expertise, collaboration, dedication and curiosity drive our pioneering discoveries. Information about the diseases that BRI studies One in 15 Americans suffers from one of the more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, and 25 of these people suffer from more than one of these interrelated diseases. Autoimmune diseases include type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Crohns disease and rheumatoid arthritis to name a few. Even more Americans, one out of every four, suffer from other immune-mediated diseases, allergy and asthma. These are all lifelong conditions, currently without a cure. Because these diseases are connected by common destructive pathways, research on one or two immune system diseases has far reaching implications for the whole spectrum of immune-mediated disease. As a world leader in scientific innovation, BRIs discoveries are having significant impact on people living with these diseases today - by improving the ability to predict disease risk, prevent onset of disease, decrease disease progression, make treatments safer and better - while striving to ultimately cure these diseases.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4One of the unique qualities of BRI is the close integration of three types of medical research - laboratory research, translational research and clinical research - to improve peoples lives. Our scientists can address both the basic science issues and clinical applications, which is the best way to design studies with the highest potential for success. For BRI, discovery starts in the laboratory but is driven by patient issues addressed in the clinic. 2017 advancements in immunology, translational research, clinical research and other areas are highlighted below.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4aFunding for the Immune Tolerance Network ITN was awarded to BRIs Dr. Jerry Nepom in 2014 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease NIAID of the National Institutes of Health NIH. The 7-year award, totaling 27 million annually supports the ITN, a research consortium established in 1999 with a primary focus on the development of new tolerogenic approaches for the treatment and prevention of disease in three clinical areas asthma and allergic diseases autoimmune diseases and immune-mediated rejection of transplanted solid organs, tissues and cells. As the Prime recipient of this grant, BRI is responsible for the management of the overall grant from NIAID including oversight of all aspects of the Networks infrastructure. The major activities in 2017 were diverse, but continued to center on preserving the ITNs cohesive project focused environment and its framework which has proven so successful in the management of a large cooperative agreement grant. Key outcomes in 2017 include the following 1 Cross Network Integration A top priority in this reporting period was to continue the successful ITN infrastructure which is spread across three main operational sites. This required careful planning and collaboration as the ITNs major centers of operations are geographically diverse, located in Seattle, San Francisco and Bethesda. Few changes were made to the existing network integration as the current model continues to successfully support the overall ITN program. Establishing new relationships and vital connections within the research community continued to be an ITN goal. 2 Operations and Clinical Trial Support The ITN program team at BRI issued 154 subawards in 2017 in support of 20 active ITN clinical trials and numerous supporting ITN mechanistic trials. 3 Supplemental Funding / Partnerships ITN central administration continued to focus on identifying additional opportunities for supplemental funding and/or funding partnerships. a Supplemental Funding Opportunities The ITN Program Team at BRI submitted one supplemental funding request in 2017. This request was awarded, bringing in an additional 2.9M in funding to the ITN BRI. b Partnerships The ITN added one pharmaceutical partner providing partial support for a new clinical trial and continued its relationship with two other pharmaceutical partners for partial funding on two ongoing ITN studies. NIAID is the clinical sponsor on all three of these trials. 4 Publication Activity In 2017, 29 ITN publications were published in prestigious research journals and were presented at domestic and international research conferences. These publications represented ITN research in all therapeutic focus areas of the ITN Type 1 Diabetes, Transplant, Autoimmune disease and Allergy and Asthma.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4bTranslational research is a scientific approach that allows reserch observations made in the basic research lab to be quickly tested in the clinic with patients, and results brought back to the lab again in an expedient and systematic way. This research is translating new methods that improve our ability to predict disease risk, prevent onset of disease, decrease disease progression and make treatments safer and better. The research emphasis of the BRI Translational Research Program is in the areas of autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. BRI scientists and physician collaborators work together to study blood and serum samples along with medial and demographic data collected from people with autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. These include multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, allergy and asthma. BRI maintains an extensive biorepository with samples dating back to 2000, including eight disease categories and a biorepository of healthy people for comparison purposes. Advancements in 2017 include the following 1 Gene Editing Work Continues - BRI and Seattle Childrens Research Institute SCRI are collaborating on a preclinical study pioneering the use of gene editing techniques in efforts to control type 1 diabetes. By isolating the cells that attack the pancreas in type 1 diabetes and reprograming them by editing their genes, there is the hope that this could provide an important step forward in efforts to cure type 1 diabetes and possibly other diseases. To attack this complex problem, BRI is combing its regulatory T cell expertise with SCRIs gene editing expertise. 2 Study Launched to Understand Immune Cell Malfunction - BRI received a grant to help explain why immune cells cause type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and many other autoimmune diseases. This will enable BRI researchers to investigate a key mystery Do excess amounts of a chemical called interleukin-6 IL-6 - or an exaggerated response to it - cause T cells to mistake the bodys cells as enemies and attack them Using T cells in blood samples donated to BRIs biorepositories, scientists will try to pinpoint why some T-cells have more IL-6 receptors than others. The researchers will also examine how excess IL-6 changes how T cells function in healthy people and in people with type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. 3 Discovery of How Gene Variation Drives Autoimmune Disease - BRI researchers, in collaboration with three other institutions, helped discover that a variation in the gene IFIH1 simultaneously increases the risk of autoimmune disease and helps protect against viruses. The team used model systems and blood cells donated by healthy people to study the IFIH1 variation linked with autoimmunity. The researchers found that the IFIH1 variation enhances how the immune system responds to certain viruses, making it more likely the body will defeat them. But this protection comes with a price the immune system is more likely to mistake the bodys own cells as foreign invaders. This kicks off autoimmune attacks that are the hallmarks of type 1 diabetes, lupus and other autoimmune diseases. 4 Preventing Rheumatoid Arthritis - In the study called TIP-RA Targeting Immune Responses for the Prevention of Rheumatoid Arthritis BRI scientists, in collaboration with three other academic institutions, are looking for ways to prevent rheumatoid arthritis RA from occurring in people with a high risk of the disease. By using single cell analysis, researchers now have the capacity to take a small amount of human blood and look in-depth at specific T cells targeting the joints in RA, to understand what makes them become harmful and attack the body. Once scientists understand what starts RA, then approaches can be developed to stop the disease before it takes hold.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4cBRI is dedicated to seeking ways to eliminate type 1 diabetes, while at the same time looking for therapies to prevent, reverse and intervene in the disease at all stages. BRI is an international leader in type 1 diabetes research and has investigated it for more than 30 years, starting with identification of a genetic marker for the disease. BRI continues to lead the Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet, a National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trial network for type 1 diabetes prevention and early treatment. BRI also serves as the TrialNet Hub that includes 23 clinical centers working in cooperation with more than 200 screening and clinical research sites throughout the U.S. and six other countries. Progress in 2017 includes 1 Insulin Pill Study Results TrialNet led the largest study using oral insulin, testing the effect of insulin pills on 560 children and adults whose relatives had type 1 diabetes. For most, the drug had no effect on whether or not they developed type 1 diabetes or how quickly they developed it. But for those at the highest risk of developing the disease, sooner rather than later, insulin pill therapy delayed the time it took to develop the full-blown disease by about two-and-a-half years. 2 Discovery of Unique T cells - BRI researchers recently discovered that patients with type 1 diabetes have a unique set of T cells that have grown and multiplied, increasing the number of bad cells that can attack the pancreas. These unique T cells are rare in healthy individuals, but they exist in significantly higher numbers in patients with type 1 diabetes. Thanks to past technology breakthroughs made at BRI, scientists can find and capture the rare destructive T cells from the thousands of other cells in a drop of blood. Combining this method for capturing the T cells with new technology called single cell RNA sequencing, these cells can now be studied - one cell at a time - in extraordinary detail. This information is then used to decode the bad cells and find out what makes them tick.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d1 Clinical Research Program Benaroya Research Institute oversees all clinical research at Virginia Mason Medical Center which uniquely combines the expertise of a world-renowned medical reserach institute with the remarkable care of a healthcare quality leader. The BRI Clinical Research Program supports Virginia Mason clinical investigators in studies across a wide variety of autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases and conditions, as well as a broad range of other diseases such as cancer and cardiac disease. Each year the Clinical Research Program staff annually enrolls approximately 1500 study participants into Virginia Mason trials. This program involves approximately 150 research investigators, oversees 460 active studies and has 110 studies currently open to enrollment. 2 Immunology Research Program Groundbreaking allergy finding - In collaboration with Virginia Mason physicians and their patients blood samples donated to the biorepository combined with tools and techniques of single cell analysis, a groundbreaking allergy discovery was made, altering the course of allergy research. The cell that appears to drive all allergies was identified and named TH2A, providing a promising target for improving diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of all allergies. These cells could be used as biomarkers, or indicators, that show whether a person has an allergy or is responding to allergy therapy. The hope is to at some point be able to identify a signature from a drop of blood that will predict the presence of an allergy long before the first symptoms are experienced. New Clues to Autoimmune Skin Diseases - A team of scientists recently identified a new population of immune cells in the blood that closely resembles immune cells in the skin. They accomplished this by using BRIs combination of expertise, cutting-edge techniques and the latest equipment. While researchers currently know how to isolate immune cells from the blood, immune cells in tissue are difficult to isolate and study, therefore their functions are still poorly understood. Identification of cells in the blood that are related to these immune cells would help scientists better define their functions in health and in disease. This discovery led to a surprising finding these cells may play a vital role not only in protecting us from infection, but also in helping repair damaged tissue. This raises the possibility, and hope, that science can harness these cells for treatment of chronic wounds and autoimmune skin diseases such as scleroderma, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. New System Model of Multiple Sclerosis Developed - Developed by a BRI researcher, this new system model of multiple sclerosis MS articulates more fully the many complexities of this disease. Scientists can see how the disease progresses and look for better therapies and ways to prevent onset. The model includes several groundbreaking features and studies a factor, the STAT1 gene, shown to have an important role in MS. The new system model is unique because it allows researchers to see what is happening in the central nervous system - the brain and the spinal cord - as well as the immune system, in real time. What is done with system models can potentially lead to new translational and clinical studies that impact disease diagnosis and therapies. Lupus Research Moves Forward - BRI researchers are making important progress in their understanding of what causes lupus through discovery of a novel protein that controls the production of type 1 interferon that could be a target for therapies. Additionally, discovery of a new molecular pathway in lupus that doesnt function properly when people develop lupus is being studied using blood samples of people with and without lupus from the biorepository. Using tetramers, a lab is further investigating the role of T cells in development of lupus. 3 Systems Immunology Division The Systems Immunology Division expanded its scope and resources so as to make single cell analysis available to all areas of the institute. Systems Immunology staff includes PhD computational biologists and biostatisticians with access to a high-performance computing infrastructure and specialized software. By profiling cells at the single cell level, researchers can determine how they are related to each other and how they are related to disease processes. By using sophisticated technologies and data analytics, its possible to read and interpret the molecular blueprints driving cell function, showing the immune system differences that occur during health, disease or during therapy. And with each discovery of important pathways or cells, scientists can then build model systems to confirm whether or not the discovery plays a critical role in immunity. These pathways or cells can then be targets for therapies to eliminate diseases and bring the immune system into balance again.
