This federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program provides $216,000.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to elucidate the function of CTCF, a key protein involved in chromatin organization, in neural differentiation and neurodevelopment. The research will employ both 2D and 3D human cell models to examine the role of CTCF in shaping neural differentiation-dependent chromatin interactions and nuclear architecture, as well as investigate the impact of CTCF mutations on neuronal differentiation, maturation, and function. The outcomes of this 1-year research project are expected to provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying CTCF-related neurodevelopmental disorders and potentially contribute to the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic tools.
