This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $466,125.00 to New York University School of Medicine to elucidate the role of mitochondrial function in rasopathies. The research aims to analyze mitochondrial morphology and function, including enzymatic activities and oxygen consumption, in tissues from a rasopathy mouse model. It will also focus on identifying the signaling pathways and/or metabolites that contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in rasopathies. The project is expected to run from September 19, 2024, to August 31, 2026, and its findings hold promise for informing the development of targeted therapies to address the metabolic phenotype associated with rasopathies.
