This federal Project Grant award of $1,457,999.00 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports research on how the circadian clock coordinates animal and microbial metabolism. The funded project aims to investigate the mechanisms by which circadian clocks and feeding rhythms promote oscillations in microbiome composition and function, and how these microbial metabolic cycles impact host physiology. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) provides $483,077 to Baylor College of Medicine to investigate the role of the noncanonical clock transcription factor ESRRG in regulating circadian enhancer-promoter interactions during the progression from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The key objectives are to define how ESRRG rhythmicity affects NAFLD-to-HCC progression, determine how...
This $574,021 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms connecting circadian rhythms and lipid metabolism. The 5-year project led by the University of Missouri System will use a range of techniques, including lipid imaging, subcellular lipidomics, and genetic editing, to address three key knowledge gaps: 1) how the lipid messenger phosphatidic...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) provides $616,495 to The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the role of sulfatide metabolism in pancreatic cancer precursor lesions. The key objectives are to: Define the biological functions of sulfatides in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer precursor lesions, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). This will involve using...

The project involves both mouse studies and human research to establish the role of microbial...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $311,999 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to analyze common fund program datasets and develop a framework for identifying chronotherapeutic targets against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The project aims to profile the cancer-specific molecular rhythmicity of human pancreatic tissue, including tumor and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and leverage datasets to discover potential druggable targets for chronotherapy in PDA. These efforts will demonstrate a proof-of-concept approach to expand the use of available datasets in identifying chronotherapeutic targets for cancer and other diseases. The award period runs from June 10, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
