The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a 4-year, $1,026,038 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The grant supports research to define the molecular mechanisms by which telomeric DNA is extended during preimplantation embryogenesis, including in a non-human primate model. Key objectives include determining how oocyte mitochondrial membrane potential is linked to embryo transcriptional reprogramming, and identifying therapeutic strategies to protect developmental processes impacted by maternal obesity. This research aims to establish new concepts around the developmental programming of healthy aging by elucidating the regulatory mechanisms by which maternal physiology, specifically mitochondrial activity, determines offspring telomere length and lifespan.
