- This federal Project Grant award for $1,249,147.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant is a collaborative effort between Epicypher, Inc., a biotechnology company in Durham, North Carolina, and Dr. Nicolas Young of Baylor College of Medicine to develop a novel platform called AgingPTM for studying aging-associated combinatorial histone post-translational modifications (ACPTMs) in tissue. This platform is intended to...
- This $1,737,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of innovative single-cell genomics technologies for joint analysis of regulatory dynamics and transcriptional states. Key objectives include: Developing multiomics tools to measure rates of epigenomic changes (DNA methylation, demethylation, oxidative damage, DNA repair) and relate these to...
- This Project Grant award of $506,404.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate mechanisms of local and global epigenetic changes that drive senescence and aging-associated phenotypes. Key research objectives include: Examining how enhancers are rewired during senescence and aging, focusing on large enhancer communities or "cliques" and identifying transcription factors that drive their formation....
- This federal Project Grant award of $498,366.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop a platform for high-resolution imaging of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in arrays of microscopic conical wells to assess biological age. The project, led by the University of California, San Diego, seeks to effectively implement an imaging-based chromatin and epigenetic age (IMAGE) analysis approach that captures changes in chromatin organization and...
