This National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) Project Grant award under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) provides $320,053 to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct comprehensive research on the craniofacial skeleton and connective tissue development.

The 8-year project will utilize advanced techniques in spatial transcriptomics and mouse genetics to identify genes and pathways regulating the assembly of the craniofacial skeleton. This research aims to uncover fundamental programs that control skeletal connectivity, with the goal of revealing the underlying causes of congenital craniofacial disorders and paving the way for improved diagnosis and treatment. The project leverages USC's expertise in craniofacial biology and will be led by Dr. Amy Merrill, an accomplished researcher with a strong track record in mentoring.
