This $3.386 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to develop a potential treatment for Down syndrome. The grantee will assess the efficiency of using a modified CRISPR approach and single nucleotide polymorphism-based guide RNA targeting to silence one of three copies of human chromosome 21 in the Tc1 mouse model of Down syndrome. If successful, this research could...
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received a $3.7 million Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director to address co-occurring conditions in individuals with Down syndrome. Funded under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), the three-year project will test whether reducing proteostatic stress with the FDA-approved small molecule 4-phenylbutyrate can ameliorate sleep deficits, metabolic...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded a Project Grant of $1,896,457.00 under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for the project "BRAIN DEVELOPMENT IN DOWN SYNDROME DURING FETAL AND EARLY POSTNATAL AGES".
