Mpox Genomic Characterization, Viral Evolution and Host Response in Uganda: A multi-Omics Investigation of Transmission, Immune Evasion and Disease Severity
REFNo: HS7619ES
Main Objective:
To characterize the genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic profiles of MPXV infection in symptomatic cases and their contacts to inform improved diagnostic, control and management strategies.
Specific Objectives:
Objective 1: Viral Evolution and Transmission of the MPXV. This objective seeks to characterize MPXV genomic diversity and identify mutations associated with viral load, transmission clustering and infection duration. This involves identifying genetic variants driving adaptation, transmission and pathogenesis, sequencing viral genome for real-time evolution tracking, defining transmission dynamics among Mpox cases and their contacts, and collecting data on transmission risk factors for improved transmission control.
Objective 2: Host transcriptional Expression. We’ll identify host gene expression signatures associated with Mpox severity, immune evasion, clearance, and progression by comparing cases, contacts, and healthy controls (HCs). HCs will provide baseline host gene expression profiles.
Objective 3: Epigenetic regulation. Assess whether MPXV infection alters chromatin accessibility and interferon-stimulated gene regulation in infected individuals. Host chromatin architecture and epigenetic markers in both asymptomatic and symptomatic Mpox infections will be defined enabling us to dissect and understand chromatin remodeling mechanism driving infection and disease progression.
Objective 4: Comparative Proteomic Analysis. To characterize proteomic signatures in Mpox suspected patients, close contacts, and healthy controls, leading to identification of potential biomarkers for infection detection and an understanding of host response in Mpox.
Objective 5: Integrated Multi-Omics Analysis. Integrate viral genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and epigenomics to identify mechanisms of immune evasion and predictors of transmission success.
Objective 6: Living with Mpox Experience. To explore healthcare workers' and survivors' perspectives on the impact of Mpox diagnosis and management on physical, emotional, and social well-being in Uganda.
