This $900,441 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research at Brown University to uncover the developmental and molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of the ovarian follicle reserve in mice. The goal is to better understand, diagnose, and potentially treat primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and female infertility in humans.

Key aspects of the research include characterizing the role of the TAF4B protein in regulating ovarian follicle development, identifying related genetic networks and chromatin modifications that impact fetal oocyte production and quality, and exploring the conservation of these processes between mice and humans. The award includes a sub-grant to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to perform genome-wide chromatin mapping studies and data analysis in support of the project.
