The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $440,806 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to support research on the role of the molecular chaperone protein P58IPK in protecting retinal neurons from damage caused by diabetic retinopathy. The 5-year project will investigate new pathways by which P58IPK regulates protein and lipid homeostasis to maintain retinal function under diabetic stress conditions. The research aims to provide novel insights into the mechanisms of diabetic retinal dysfunction and neurodegeneration, as well as evaluate the neuroprotective effects of targeting P58IPK and its downstream pathways for developing new treatments for diabetic retinopathy.
