This $445,500 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund research by the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to investigate the role of proteolytic extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating chronic lung injury after exposure to chlorine (Cl2) or bromine (Br2) gas. The key objectives are to determine how PMN-derived EVs containing neutrophil elastase (NE) contribute to the...
This $777,500 federal Project Grant was awarded by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) under the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) program. The grant will fund a 3-year (June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028) research project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct a multiomic analysis of liquid biopsies for biomarker discovery and therapeutic targeting. The research aims to transform healthcare for military service members and the broader public by investigating innovative...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will provide $482,242 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the mechanisms of mustard gas toxicity in the retina using a minipig model. The project aims to characterize the in vivo clinical, structural, and functional changes in the retina of a minipig model exposed to mustard gas, and identify molecular targets involved in retinal degenerative...
