This Project Grant award of $388,621 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will support the development of novel molecular designs with therapeutic potential. The key objectives are: Developing ligand-heterocycle conjugates as targeted RNA degraders with rapid kinetics and selectivity for cancer-associated G-quadruplexes. Engineering nucleic acid polymers with (thio)phosphoramidate backbones as biostable...
This $328,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports the development and application of an RNA editing platform called TRIBE-ID. The platform will be used to investigate dynamic RNA-protein interactions in cells, with the goal of advancing the understanding of RNA regulatory mechanisms and accelerating the development of RNA-targeted therapeutics....
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $403,750 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program to Duke University. The grant supports a research project titled "Structure, Function, and Evolution of Gene Regulatory Networks in Archaea" led by the Schmid Lab. The broad goal is to understand how stress response mechanisms evolved in archaea, which are the evolutionary progenitors of eukaryotes. The research will use...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the development of a novel platform to enable rapid and robust identification of functional RNA molecules directly within mammalian cellular environments. The research aims to solve the challenge of RNA structure sensitivity to local environments that has hindered progress in the field of functional RNA discovery. The project will deliver a customized...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396) provides $217,388 to Boston College for developing a directed evolution platform to engineer improved RNA methyltransferases. The goal is to create methyltransferase enzymes that can more efficiently and precisely install the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification on target mRNA transcripts. This will enable better investigation of the roles of m6A, which is an important...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences CFDA program (47.074), will investigate a novel regulatory mechanism called "RNA buffering" that maintains messenger RNA (mRNA) levels despite changes in synthesis and decay rates. The $749,978 project at the University of Utah will explore the protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions involved in this process, which challenges...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $479,924 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study how RNA structure regulates gene expression in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The research aims to determine the mechanisms by which RNA polymerase pausing and transcription termination are controlled by the transcription elongation factors...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $230,312 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) in Worcester, MA. The grant, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, will support research to investigate RNA interference and related gene regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, the project will explore how cells distinguish licensed from...
This $387,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to understand the roles of microRNAs in animal development. The project aims to systematically investigate the functions of highly conserved microRNAs and identify their critical cellular targets, leveraging the C. elegans model organism. The research will yield knowledge on how dosage changes in these...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to characterize short cyclic phosphate-containing RNAs (CP-RNAs) and understand their biogenesis and biological functions. The $429,000 award to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, will fund a genome-wide expression analysis of CP-RNAs across various cells and...
