This federal Project Grant award of $2,210,865, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to identify unique neural and inflammatory mechanisms of depression in people living with HIV (PLWH). The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will conduct a cross-sectional study to enroll PLWH who are depressed and non-depressed, as well as HIV-negative subjects who are depressed and non-depressed. The research...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $422,125 to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to develop and deploy novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to track antiretroviral drugs in the central nervous system (CNS) and measure virus-associated metabolites linked to neuropathology and neuroprotective outcomes in HIV-infected humanized mice treated with...
This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $4,638,424 to the University of California, San Diego from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The grant will support research developing novel quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques to directly image myelin and quantify myelin content and properties in the brain. Specifically, the researchers will use ultra-short echo time sequences with echo...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded a $428,448 Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172). The award, with a project period from September 2023 to August 2025, will fund the development of a novel contrastive learning method to identify biologically and clinically relevant disease subtypes from electronic health record (EHR) data. The goal is to advance precision medicine by uncovering meaningful...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) administered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), has awarded a $434,500 R21 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms controlling HIV latency and neuropathogenesis in microglia. The project aims to use single-cell multi-omics approaches and state-of-the-art sequencing technologies to characterize the transcriptomic and...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $843,177 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to evaluate the efficacy of broadly neutralizing antibodies (BNABs) encapsulated in nanotechnology-based "nanocapsules" for targeting central nervous system (CNS) HIV infection in infants. The research aims to improve the delivery of BNABs to...
