- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), supports research on the mechanisms of manganese-induced neurotoxicity via the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) protein. The $682,698 award to Florida A&M University (FAMU) aims to investigate how elevated manganese levels, as seen in occupational or environmental exposures, impact the...
- The University of Texas at Austin received a $122,403 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), to conduct research on identifying the neuronal targets and mechanisms of manganese-induced neuromotor disease. The research aims to definitively determine whether manganese primarily targets dopaminergic or GABAergic neurons in the basal ganglia to induce motor deficits. The project will...
