Project Grant R01HL177538
- This federal Project Grant award for $802,301, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research by Weill Medical College of Cornell University to investigate the mechanisms that control the bone marrow "niche" environment and its role in expanding mutated blood stem cells that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The research aims to identify signaling pathways that can be targeted to prevent...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $811,885 in funding to the J. David Gladstone Institutes in California to conduct research on epigenomic mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. The project aims to investigate the role of the MEOX1 gene as a key transcriptional regulator of fibroblast activation, fibrosis, and heart failure pathogenesis. The research leverages novel genetic mouse...
- This federal Project Grant award for $769,761 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research into the mechanisms by which obesity leads to atrial fibrillation. The awardee, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, is developing a mouse model of obesity-induced atrial fibrillation to investigate how nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) pathways and the ATF6 endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research on how tissue elasticity and viscosity modulate the signaling between macrophages and fibroblasts in cardiac fibrosis. The $231,552 award, granted to the University of California, San Diego, will fund research to investigate the effects of mechanical stimuli on macrophage-fibroblast interactions and explore the role of a changing mechanical...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $817,208 to The Broad Institute, Inc. to investigate the genetic basis and underlying mechanisms of heart failure. The research leverages high-throughput cellular analysis techniques, including cell painting and Perturb-seq, to functionally characterize genetic variants associated with heart failure risk. The goal is to rapidly...
- The federal Project Grant award of $117,525.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is funding research at Boston Children's Hospital to investigate cellular adaptation to perturbations in one-carbon metabolism. The research aims to characterize the role of the UFMylation pathway in maintaining cellular fitness during folate depletion, and explore signaling cascades that promote cellular fitness in response to one-carbon metabolism...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to the University of Utah provides $745,663 to investigate the role of the IRE1 protein in regulating cardiac fibrosis, a key mechanism underlying heart failure. The research aims to elucidate how the unfolded protein response (UPR) in cardiac fibroblasts affects their activation and production of extracellular matrix proteins during the progression of both reduced and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is funding research to discover novel biomarkers and biological mechanisms underlying early-stage heart failure (HF). The $147,486 award to Duke University will support the development of an automated computational phenotype to identify early-stage HF, which will then be applied to large population cohorts. The research aims to leverage multi-omics data integration and...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $655,636 in funding to the Texas Heart Institute (THI) to investigate the role of cardiac fibroblasts in the development of heart failure in patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease. The objectives are to gain insights into the intrinsic molecular mechanisms that promote cellular senescence, metabolic remodeling, and...
- This $125,703 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research investigating the role of the SYNE1-giant gene in atrial cardiomyopathy. The principal investigator is conducting a comprehensive study to understand the mechanisms by which mutations in the SYNE1 gene, which encodes mechanosensitive proteins in the nuclear envelope, contribute to the development of atrial fibrillation and sinus node dysfunction....
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $708,265 in funding to Weill Medical College of Cornell University from September 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029. The research project aims to expand understanding of how fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs) influence cardiac physiology and how genetic variants contribute to arrhythmias, providing a platform for targeted therapies. Key research objectives include defining the mechanisms by which FHFs regulate voltage-gated sodium channels, ion channel trafficking, and adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes using a structurally guided approach and unbiased proteomic analyses. This project grant supports critical investigations into the role of FHF proteins in cardiac function and their potential as therapeutic targets for life-threatening arrhythmias.
