- This federal Project Grant award of $432,000 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The project, titled "The Mechanisms of Odorant Receptor Map Formation in Mice", aims to use advanced sequencing techniques to map the identity of all ~3,000 glomeruli in the juvenile mouse olfactory bulb and elucidate the mechanisms of olfactory map formation...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,432,740.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award supports a research project to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the restructuring of olfactory representations in the Drosophila mushroom body. The project aims to understand the principles and neural mechanisms by which the olfactory code is...
- This federal Project Grant award of $194,375 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research to investigate the cellular and molecular basis for how insects, specifically fruit flies, detect and respond to high osmolality in food. The project aims to define the role of osmolality in modulating feeding behavior in fruit flies, and to identify the specific gustatory neurons and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $688,796 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research focused on understanding how the olfactory (smell) system transforms odor information into perception, with the goal of characterizing the serial transformation of odor representations from receptors to the cortex. The project aims to provide...
- This $108,512 project grant, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to investigate the role of dopamine in olfactory navigation in Drosophila melanogaster. The award to Weill Medical College of Cornell University will fund a multi-year project to study how dopaminergic modulation in the fly's neural circuits impacts its ability to track odor...
- This Project Grant award of $506,842.00, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", aims to identify powerful mosquito repellents that target their olfactory and gustatory systems. The research will validate computationally-predicted repellents and pyrethroid analogs, and test combinations for effectiveness in reducing contact between humans and...
- The federal Project Grant award of $2,774,362.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory into how odor cues from offspring influence neural and behavioral responses to infant vocalizations in mice. The goal is to determine if and under what conditions maternal behavior that requires both olfaction and...
This federal Project Grant award of $426,938, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to investigate the structural basis for chemosensation by insect olfactory ionotropic receptors. The research will be conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, a leading federal research institution, from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027. The project aims to address a key limitation in understanding the structure of chemosensory ionotropic receptor complexes in insects, which are important targets for strategies to control behaviors of disease vectors like mosquitoes through their sense of smell and taste. The research will leverage transgenic Drosophila models to enable harvesting of functional receptor complexes for cryo-electron microscopy analyses, in order to elucidate the structural basis for insect chemosensation.
