This $195,570 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports research by The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the role of the molecular co-chaperone DNAJC7 in preventing the aggregation of misfolded proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease and spinocerebellar ataxias. The 5-year project aims to elucidate DNAJC7's mechanism of action in neurons and its potential as a therapeutic target. The award will enable the principal investigator to acquire new skills in cutting-edge techniques spanning microscopy, CRISPR functional genomics, and proteomics, as well as develop professional skills to establish an independent research program in neurodegenerative disease.
