This $144,362 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) aims to investigate the immunologic mechanisms underlying the development of Chagas cardiomyopathy, a debilitating heart condition that affects 30-40% of individuals infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. The research will use advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the immune cell...

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $416,849 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to validate a novel biomarker assay called TAD1 for detecting cardiac amyloidosis, a condition caused by protein aggregation, in minority populations with heart failure. The goal is to translate the TAD1 assay into a high-throughput diagnostic tool scalable for clinical use. This research, led by Dr. Lorena Saelices Gomez, will leverage samples and patient data from the large SCAN-MP study on screening for cardiac amyloidosis in minority groups. If successful, the TAD1 assay could enable earlier diagnosis and treatment of this often overlooked condition in high-risk Black and Hispanic communities.
