This federal Project Grant award of $314,113 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports the development and demonstration of a high-speed multicolor confocal fluorescence imager. The primary goal is to create a tool that can simultaneously capture multi-wavelength signals and display them as separated or merged multicolor images and 3-D stacks, in order to map complex neuronal network activity and identify...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will provide $2,565,783 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to develop novel genetically encoded sensors and actuators for monitoring and manipulating neuromodulatory signaling activities in the brain at the cellular and circuit levels. The project aims to enable large-scale in vivo...
This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $4,819,656 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop new fluorescent protein-based kinase biosensors for multiplex neuronal imaging of signaling pathways in behaving mice. The goal is to simultaneously monitor the activity of signaling pathways involved in synaptic plasticity, such as PKA, CaMKII, ERK, and PKC, and to use in...
This $1,242,117 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports the development of novel Cre-dependent adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) with minimal off-target expression. The goal is to create improved tools for studying neural circuits, including markers, optogenetic/chemogenetic actuators, and biosensors. The research aims to address issues with current Cre-dependent AAV designs, which can exhibit...
The federal Cooperative Agreement award U01MH139778, totaling $3,007,397.00, was granted by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The award aims to create, screen, characterize, and distribute a large set of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) tools to target cell classes, subclasses, and specific types in the mouse, marmoset, and macaque brains. The project will leverage single-nucleus multiome datasets to nominate...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $505,311 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc.
