- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $690,898 on September 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct functional genetic analyses of healthspan in humans. The recipient will identify shared genetic architecture underlying age-related diseases and aging-related traits, experimentally validate the regulatory roles of healthspan-associated non-coding variants and their target genes, and elucidate molecular...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $1,468,868 on January 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866, Program Grant R01AG097491) to investigate how the brain regulates organismal aging as a neural pacemaker controlling the tempo of aging across multiple organ systems. The research combines high-throughput longitudinal studies in killifish—a vertebrate model with a naturally compressed...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $533,500 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds examination of the role of autonomic innervation in muscle stem cell aging. The research investigates the functional link between autonomic nervous system neurons and muscle stem cells using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The project will refine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $705,405 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how changes in nuclear physical properties during cellular senescence drive transcriptional and splicing dysregulation characteristic of aging. The funded research measures nuclear biophysical properties across multiple length scales using a toolkit including genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles (nucGEMS, 40–50 nanometers), newly...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $708,137 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop and validate technologies for probing the biophysical properties of aging cells. The funded work centers on developing genetically encoded multimeric particles (GEMs) as high-throughput microrheology probes to measure the physical properties of cell interiors—particularly within organelles including the nucleus, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum,...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $450,200 on May 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to map age-dependent changes in primary sensory neurons and nociceptors. The recipient will deliver a systematic, cell-type-resolved map of how normal aging remodels peripheral sensory neurons housed in the dorsal-root ganglion (DRG). The project employs subtype-specific labeling via a recently published molecular-genetic...
