- This $2,638,760.00 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The research aims to investigate a novel mechanism involving the metabolite rhodoquinone (RQ) and its potential role in improving mitochondrial function and mitigating metabolic diseases caused by obesity. Specifically, the project will elucidate how the RQ/fumarate...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $773,112 Project Grant to Rockefeller University on September 5, 2025 under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms of transcriptional control in adipocyte formation and function through nuclear receptor coactivators. The research aims to provide a better understanding of dysregulation in energy storage...
- This federal Project Grant award of $813,511 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (DFCI) to investigate the structural basis and functional consequences of thermogenic mitochondrial respiratory complexes assembly in the context of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The research aims to...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $123,908, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The funding supports research at Baylor College of Medicine to investigate the role of the ANO4 calcium-activated chloride channel in the area postrema (AP) region of the brain, and its potential involvement in the orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) effects of the...
- This $108,486 Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to identify novel immune markers associated with obesity-driven diseases. The objective is to utilize novel tools to study the inter-organ communication pathway between the intestine and adipose tissue immune cells. The research leverages a Cre-inducible...
- This $233,250 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to understand how macrophage branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism contributes to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. The project, led by The Washington University, will investigate the role of the enzyme protein phosphatase 1K (PPM1K) in regulating macrophage BCAA metabolism and...
- This Project Grant award of $248,915 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to unravel the role of epigenetics and cytokines in type 2 diabetes among African-ancestry populations in the U.S. and Europe. The research aims to identify causal associations between DNA methylation, circulating cytokines, and diabetes risk in these populations...
- This $1,280,753 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program) supports research on the role of hypothalamic SH2B1 neurocircuits and SH2B1 signal transduction pathways in obesity and metabolic disease. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan, aims to identify SH2B1-expressing neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) that control...
- This $2,782,476 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports research to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic beta cell response to metabolic stress, a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. The 4-year project aims to leverage in vitro human beta cell models, single-cell transcriptomic analyses, and targeted drug screening to delineate the dynamic chromatin and transcriptomic changes that...
This $168,252 federal Project Grant awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research at Trustees of Boston University (DBA Boston University Medical Campus) to study the molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptor corepressors NCOR1 and SMRT and their role in regulating metabolism via actions in the intestine. The overarching goal is to expand understanding of body weight and glucose regulation by these corepressors, hypothesized to be in part through their effects on carbohydrate transporters. This 5-year research project and career development plan will be conducted under the mentorship of an established leader in the field to potentially identify new targets for treating metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity.
