- This $2,591,620 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California. The grant is designed to determine the role of hypothalamic neurons in the progression of physiological decline with age, with a focus on understanding the cellular mechanisms responsible for increased frailty in older adults. Key objectives include elucidating the role of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) neurons...
- This federal Project Grant award of $145,566 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) is supporting research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate how the brain accumulates and utilizes "cognitive maps" - internal neural representations that enable flexible behavior and memory recall. The research aims to provide insights into the neuronal coding deficits underlying cognitive decline, with the goal of informing therapeutic...
- This $789,664 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a research project titled "Dissecting the Cellular and Spatial Tissue Clock of the Human Lung and Peripheral Blood" at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The project aims to leverage single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the effect of age on the cellular microenvironment of the human lung and peripheral blood. The research will...

- This federal Project Grant award of $2,631,670 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a research initiative at The Washington University to investigate age-related deficits in episodic memory. The project aims to determine how aging distinctly affects the content and structure of memory representations, and how this relates to dysfunction in different brain networks based on susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research will utilize plasma...
- The National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) awarded a $506,000 Project Grant to the Scripps Research Institute to engineer a novel biomolecular condensate (BMC)-based tool with tunable physicochemical properties. The goal is to create an orthogonal selective autophagy receptor (SAR)-like BMC capable of supporting autophagosome biogenesis and selective cargo recruitment. This will enable detailed investigation of the biophysical regulatory mechanisms of BMCs in autophagy, which...
