Form 990, Part III, Line 4a;The Institute was recently ranked among the top five organizations with the greatest research impact in immunology worldwide by the rating agency Thomson-Reuters. In addition, four of its scientists are among the most highly cited immunologists in the world-a distinction held by less than half of one percent of all publishing scientists. One of them, Prof. Dr. Shane Crotty's made the list for the second year in a row in recognition of his pioneering studies on vaccine-related immunology. Illustrating the caliber and impact of LJI's researchers, Dr. Alessandro Sette's team has been named Best Academic Research Team as part of the 10th Vaccine Industry Excellence Awards at the World Vaccine Congress 2017. The ViE Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions and achievements of leaders who continually set standards of excellence and advocacy in vaccine development. Dr. Klaus Ley has been selected as the 2017 winner of the Eugene M. Landis Award, the Microcirculatory Society's top honor, in recognition of his pioneering work in vascular biology and microcirculation. In 2017, La Jolla Institute launched the Center for Asthma Prevention and Treatment dedicated to understanding, treating and solving the problem of asthma. A joint endeavor between LJI and UC San Diego Health, the center will bring together patients, clinicians and researchers to accelerate the development of individualized asthma treatments based on patient-specific disease markers. The wide range of expertise coming together at the Center for Asthma Prevention and Treatment made an immediate impact. It allowed a team of physicians, scientists and bioinformaticians affiliated with the center to successfully compete for an $8.5 million grant to establish one of only ten PrecISE Network Clinical Centers nationwide. The PrecISE Network is an initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, to advance precision medicine for patients with severe and exacerbation-prone asthma. 2017 Notable Research Results In 2017, LJI research teams made discoveries meriting publication in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals 135 papers in all, continuing a trend of very high productivity. 40 of them appeared in high impact journals, which is a measure of the research's pioneering nature and influence. Together, they illustrate the range and power of immunology research, the caliber of LJI's faculty and their impact on a broad group of human health issues. Some of the highlights among papers published in 2017 include: Dr. Alessandro Sette and his collaborators found the first direct evidence that autoimmunity--in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues--plays a role in Parkinson's disease, the neurodegenerative movement disorder. The findings raise the possibility that the death of neurons in Parkinson's could be prevented by therapies that dampen the immune response. The idea that a malfunctioning immune system contributes to Parkinson's dates back almost 100 years. But until now, no one had been able to connect the dots. Plus, scientists long thought that neurons were protected from autoimmune attacks. Dr. Sette's findings show that two fragments of alpha-synuclein, a protein that accumulates in the brain cells of people with Parkinson's, can activate the T cells involved in autoimmune attacks. The study was published today in the June edition of Nature. Dr. Pandurangan Vijayanand and his team demonstrated that tumor immune fitness determines survival of lung cancer patients. In recent years, immunotherapy, a new form of cancer therapy that rouses the immune system to attack tumor cells, has captivated the public's imagination. When it works, the results are breathtaking. But more often than not it doesn't, and scientists still don't know why. Publishing in the June 2017 issue of Nature Immunology, Dr. Vijayanand's team identified a subpopulation of T cells in tumors known as tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) as an important distinguishing factor between cancer patients whose immune system mounts an effective anti-tumor response and those who are unable to do so. Their finding emerged from the first large-scale effort to profile the gene expression patterns of cytotoxic T cells isolated directly from patients' tumors. Dr. Klaus Ley's lab provided new insight into how neutrophils, the immune system's EMTs, spend most of their lives racing through the bloodstream constantly on the lookout for bacteria and other foreign invaders. Once they arrive at infiltrated tissues, they halt on a dime and slip through the vessel wall to reach the site of infection. Dr. Klaus Ley and his colleagues developed a sophisticated intra-vital imaging method that allowed them to watch in real time how neutrophils control their speed as they roll along the walls of blood vessels. The dramatic, real-time footage shows in great detail how neutrophils throw out tube-like tethers to anchor themselves to avoid being swept away by blood rushing by at high speed. As neutrophils gently roll along, tether after tether is peeled loose and slung forward like a lasso to gain new leverage, slowing them down enough to exit the blood vessel. A study by Dr. Shane Crotty and his collaborators established important benchmarks for HIV vaccine candidates. The development of a vaccine that protects against HIV infections has proven extraordinarily difficult. One of the reasons is that nave precursor B cells that can give rise to mature B cells producing broadly neutralizing antibodies-a requirement for a successful antibody-based HIV vaccine-are considered to be exceedingly rare within the average human. Publishing in the December 201 issue of the journal Immunity, Dr. Crotty and team were able to show that despite their low frequency these B cell precursors can be successfully primed to prevail over their B cell competitors under the right conditions. Earlier studies had detected these B cells in most humans but at very low frequencies, about one in a million and it had been unclear whether that was enough to elicit an effective immune response. By providing an answer, the current study closes the knowledge gap about competition between different immune responses and establishes defined benchmarks vaccine candidates should be compared against for consideration before they are put into clinical trials. Dr. Klaus Ley successfully mirrored the breadth of genetic and immunological diversity found in the human population in the lab by using a panel of about 100 different inbred mouse strains instead of just one. The new approach successfully replicates natural human immune variation in the lab and allowed Dr. Ley and his team to identify a molecular fingerprint that successfully predicted individual people's susceptibility to inflammatory disease as well as survival of patients with certain cancers. Traditionally, researchers have relied on genetically identically mouse strains to gain insight into the complex world of human diseases while reducing what is known as experimental noise. But in contrast to these mice, not two people are genetically alike. As a direct result many promising drug candidates fizzled in the face of human genetic diversity. Competitive Research Grant Funding & Research Awards & Distinctions In 2017, La Jolla Institute scientists continued to attract increasing numbers of competitively awarded research grants attesting to the high level of research productivity present at the Institute. One example is Dr. Catherine (Lynn) Hedrick, Ph.D., a Professor in the Division of Inflammation Biology, who has been awarded a five-year, $13 million grant by the National Institutes of Health to lead a collaborative research program project to study how functional changes in immune cells contribute to atherosclerosis. The end goal of the study is to identify novel therapeutic strategies targeting immune cell function to reduce cardiovascular disease.
During 2017, LJI scientists worked with the support of 152 grants, contractand fellowships.

This provides an opportunity for members of the Board to ask questions and obtain additional information. Comments and suggested changes to the draft are incorporated into the final version of Form 990.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Institute administers three separate conflict of interest policies applying to 1) The Board of Directors, 2) Faculty and Senior Administration, and 3) An investigator financial conflict of interest policy required under National Institutes of Health Regulations. The Institute regularly and consistently monitors and enforces these policies in accordance with written procedures, which include the completion of disclosure forms by covered individuals, evaluation of completed forms by a designated conflict review officer, and as necessary, further evaluation and determination by a designated conflict review committee. If a conflict is determined, a management plan is designed and monitored for the specific situation. Such plan may require the covered individual to eliminate the conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Compensation decisions for the institute's CEO and other key employees are Made annually. Adjustments, if any, typically take effect on a January 1st Cycle. For these purposes, the institute's Human Resources Department Obtains relevant market comparability data for each position on an annual Basis. The institute also periodically engages an independent compensation Consulting firm to perform compensation studies for key individuals and to Evaluate the institute's executive compensation and benefits programs for Reasonableness. In accordance with its charter, the compensation committee Of the board of directors reviews and discusses this information, and the Performance of the institute's CEO and key employees, and formulates Recommended compensation actions to the full board of directors. The board Of directors reviews these recommendations and related information in Deciding compensation levels for each position.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Institute makes its governing documents, Conflict of Interest Policy, and Financial Statements available to the public upon request. Summarized Financial data is also made available as part of the Institute's Annual Report, which is widely distributed, and can be downloaded from the Institute's web site.
