This $1,981,077 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the circadian regulation of cardiac ion channels and electrophysiology. The project aims to elucidate how circadian alignment and misalignment impact the transcription, translation, and physiological function of genes essential for normal cardiac activity. Key...
This Project Grant award, with Assistance Type of $143,829.00, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The primary objective is to establish human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as robust models for mechanistic studies of how intrinsic circadian regulation impacts cardiomyocyte size and function. The research aims to determine whether mutations that impact cellular...
This $777,497 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support research at The Washington University to investigate how the circadian clock mediates the adult-age, pro-resolution response to viral asthma triggers. The research aims to clarify how the circadian clock within alveolar macrophages and airway epithelial cells promotes the resolution of viral inflammation and normal...

This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $1,411,136 to The Washington University in St. Louis to study biological rhythms and circadian clock function in organ donors. The goal is to develop a predictive model for assessing donor clock state prior to organ procurement, and to identify clock-dependent mechanisms by which donor and recipient circadian rhythms impact lung transplant acceptance.

The research involves a collaboration with the organ procurement organization Mid-America Transplant Services to build a database of donor biological rhythms, and use this to create a gene expression-based predictor of donor clock status. Separately, a mouse lung transplant model will be used to investigate how the master clock gene BMAL1 regulates neutrophil metabolism and function, which can impact ischemic lung injury after transplantation. This work aims to pioneer the study of circadian rhythms in organ donors and elucidate novel pathways through which donor and recipient clock alignment can promote successful transplantation outcomes.
