This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under CFDA program 93.121 Oral Diseases and Disorders Research, provides $409,403 to Branchpoint Biosciences Inc. for the development of a comprehensive qPCR-based oral microbiome profiling platform. The objectives are to: (1) determine key oral microbial targets by analyzing public metagenomic data, and (2) design and validate qPCR assays to accurately detect and quantify those targets....
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), funded under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to study essential genes in the oral pathobiont Fusobacterium nucleatum. The $429,000 award to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston aims to investigate the molecular basis for the essentiality of the FomA gene and systematically identify other essential genes in F. nucleatum. The goal...
This $163,411 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to understand the relationship between Streptococcus mutans, a primary driver of dental caries, and other oral commensal bacteria. The key objectives are to: 1) explicate nutritional niches between health- and disease-associated oral bacteria, 2) exploit these niches to alter microbial ecology through...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), provides $241,500.00 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to identify diffusible small molecules that regulate the replication of the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). The research aims to establish the identity of the growth-promoting cues produced by different strains of...
This $431,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to decipher the mechanisms by which two proteins, AAFLP-1 and AADCUB, regulate the production of exopolysaccharide (PNAG) in the oral bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The research aims to investigate how these two proteins, which are unique to A. actinomycetemcomitans, independently...
This $249,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121) will fund research to elucidate the mechanism of action and impact of radical-S-adenosylmethionine ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RAS-RIPPs) produced by oral Streptococcus bacteria on the human oral microbiome. The primary goals are to define the mechanism of action of...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $469,830.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant aims to identify oral bacterial species with anti-cancer properties and evaluate their potential for preventing or treating oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Specifically, the study will assess the effects of Streptococcus mitis and Haemophilus parainfluenzae on OSCC...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), will fund research to define oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)-associated microbiome and metabolome signatures and determine if microbiota transfer from OSCC patients to mouse models promotes tumorigenesis. The $234,000 award to the University of Colorado-Denver will extend previous studies on the role of the human...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $1,072,058, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant supports research on the mechanisms of Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) in the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans, a key pathogen that contributes to dental caries development. The research aims to: 1) Dissect the regulatory mechanisms controlling the integrated and...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $422,665 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Oregon State University to develop an integrated dental plaque bioanalytical platform for point-of-care diagnostics of oral diseases. The 2-year project aims to: 1) Detect and quantify hydrogen peroxide and lactate produced by beneficial and pathogenic oral bacteria using innovative electrochemical sensors, and 2) Establish...
