This $2.77 million project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources will support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop new single-molecule tools to characterize the human telomere chromatin landscape. Over three years, the researchers will establish proof-of-concept experiments using non-native DNA methylation to map protein-DNA interactions at repetitive telomeric DNA regions. They will then use these new tools to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), provides $1,107,158 to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research on the structure and dynamics of telomeres and telomerase. The award period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029. The funded research aims to advance the understanding of telomere and telomerase biology, which are essential for maintaining...
This $546,146 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) will support research to gain a mechanistic understanding of the structure and function of physiological-length telomeric overhangs and their interactions with relevant biological factors. The project aims to use single-molecule fluorescence methods, cryo-electron microscopy, and computational modeling to (1) investigate how...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,268,697 project grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Case Western Reserve University to investigate the roles of the POT1-TPP1 protein complex in telomere maintenance. The key objectives of this 4-year project (July 2024 to April 2028) are to: Further examine the intricate details of telomerase-mediated extension of telomere DNA and identify how changes in nucleotide pools affect...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $910,000 over 4 years to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to conduct research on the regulation of DNA repair mechanisms and transcription at telomeres. The research aims to improve understanding of how genetic information is protected at chromosome ends, which is critical for cell and organism health. The...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), will provide $1,126,290 to the University of Wisconsin System to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying cellular maintenance in living organisms. The five-year research project, running from July 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029, will focus on two key aspects: 1) understanding the control mechanisms and regulators of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $376,755 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to study the molecular mechanisms and evolution of natural telomeric variation in the plant monkeyflower (Mimulus). The research aims to understand why telomere lengths vary between individuals and how this variation affects organismal fitness and evolution. Key...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) totaling $411,250.00 will fund research to elucidate the mechanisms and genetic consequences of break-induced replication (BIR) in mammalian cells. The primary goals are to determine how BIR is regulated at telomeres and transcriptionally active loci, and to develop new experimental tools and techniques for studying BIR. This...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $421,600 from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029 to The Morgridge Institute for Research, Inc. to conduct research aimed at understanding the interplay of genetic and environmental contributions to human cell fitness.
