- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded The Washington University $388,750 on April 23, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to investigate the structural and functional mechanisms of podocin in glomerular membrane organization and kidney disease. The research applies detergent-free, vesicle-based cryo-electron microscopy to determine the full-length structure of podocin at near-atomic resolution...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded the University of Washington $839,388 on August 15, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to develop engineered human liver tissue for heterotopic transplant and therapeutic rescue of liver disease. The project addresses the critical shortage of donor organs for patients with end-stage liver disease by developing cultured human hepatocytes as organoids that...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded Massachusetts Institute of Technology $837,398 on July 10, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to develop a label-free imaging platform for mapping lipid-mitochondrial interactions in the enteric nervous system across the lifespan and in disease states. The recipient will integrate a deep metabolic imaging microscope with time-resolved detection and...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded the University of Washington $888,773 on April 15, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847, Project Grant R01DK140210). The award funds research defining the contributions of hypothalamic microglia and perineuronal nets to obesity pathogenesis. The project investigates inflammatory activation of hypothalamic microglia in the arcuate nucleus and the loss of...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded the University of Washington $825,905 on March 6, 2026, to develop an immunocompetent colon chip platform for modeling Crohn's disease under CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The award funds construction of a three-dimensional intestinal platform incorporating primary intestinal and immune cells to model the colonic microenvironment in both health and disease. The platform...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded the University of Washington $784,606 on August 25, 2026, under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to develop highly multiplexed volumetric light sheet microscopy for thick tissue imaging. The award funds development of an innovative platform combining light-sheet microscopy with high-multiplex fluorescence imaging capable of up to approximately 35-plex imaging using polymer dot probes and a novel multispectral light sheet microscope. The technology enables single-round staining and imaging of thick tissue samples (up to 1 millimeter), addressing a major unmet challenge in biomedical imaging. The platform will be applied to uncover the spatial progression of inflammation and fibrosis during chronic kidney disease. Work includes building a custom open-top light sheet microscope employing a multiband detection concept called segmented orthogonal dispersion. The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs serves as the recipient organization. Performance occurs in Seattle, Washington through May 31, 2030.
