This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $180,000 in funding to Kennesaw State University to investigate the role of the ecdysone receptor (ECR) transcriptional regulation during Drosophila development. The award will support a team of undergraduate researchers and master's students to pursue two related aims: (1) assessing the importance of ECR activation for developmental signaling pathways, and (2) determining how ECR transcriptional regulation directly influences the growth and patterning of epithelial cells. The research will leverage sophisticated genetic tools and transcriptional/cell signaling reporters to precisely disrupt ECR activity and measure the cellular outcomes. This project, with a period of performance from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, aims to provide an integrated understanding of ECR-mediated transcriptional regulation and its impact on key developmental processes, which could offer insights into human nuclear hormone receptor regulation of development and disease.
