This $660,773 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to assess the impact of obesity on the molecular and functional characteristics of the human endometrium, as well as the reversibility of these changes following significant weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery. The project will utilize cutting-edge proteomic and single-cell genomic techniques, combined with established reproductive function assays, to comprehensively characterize the effects of obesity on endometrial cell populations and their transcriptional and protein profiles. The findings will provide critical insights into the complex relationship between obesity, endometrial health, and infertility, with the ultimate goal of informing potential therapeutic interventions. The grant has been awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a leading public research institution, to conduct this innovative research over a 5-year period from June 2025 to May 2030.
