The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded a $1,345,424 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, effective September 10, 2024 through September 9, 2027, aims to develop a novel genetically encoded "protein ticker tape" system that enables long-term, brain-wide recording of single-cell physiology in live mice without external interfacing. The technology will leverage...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Chemistry of Life Processes Program awarded a Project Grant of $698,869 to the University of Michigan to develop new molecular tools to study brain signaling-specific neuronal populations. The goal is to create a new class of reporters that can quickly label neurons activated during specific behaviors, enabling further study of the neural circuits underlying cognitive functions and behaviors. This 5-year project will utilize directed evolution and rational...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is for the development and validation of micro-LED optoelectrode platforms to enable high-density, artifact-free neural modulation and recording in behaving animal models. The $556,525 award, effective June 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030, will support the Regents of the University of...
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,671,116 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program to The Washington University in St. Louis. The 3-year grant, running from September 2023 to August 2026, aims to develop a novel two-component optogenetic system for reversibly controlling the activity of user-defined synaptic connections between specific cell types in the brain. The project will involve engineering light-sensitive G...
The University of Michigan was awarded a $2.764 million Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to conduct research on the in-situ architecture of membrane contact sites mediating organelle fission. The university will use novel microscopy techniques to visualize and determine the three-dimensional structure of endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria-lysosome...
