The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $191,965 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research. The project aims to identify and validate key transcription factors that regulate gene expression programs specific to preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy disorder, using human trophoblast stem cells as a model system. The research seeks to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms driving preeclampsia in order to enable the development of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches. This 2-year award commencing on September 1, 2024 will provide the university's researchers the opportunity to advance scientific understanding of preeclampsia and explore innovative solutions to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.
