This $176,244 federal Project Grant award 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 a 5-year research project led by Dr. Gabriel Loeb at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The project aims to study the regulation and function of the GLIS3 transcription factor, which is involved in primary ciliary signaling pathways related to polycystic kidney disease. The research will employ innovative approaches including mouse models, organoid models, and advanced imaging techniques to generate fundamental knowledge about the pathways underlying cystic kidney disease. The award will also support Dr. Loeb's career development, providing training to establish his abilities in dissecting genetic kidney disease pathways and developing the non-experimental skills necessary for a successful independent academic research career.
