This $291,284 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will support research at Emory University to investigate the role of DNA structure in centromere specification. The 3-year project aims to use a genomic-based approach to better understand how the localization of centromeres, which are essential for chromosome segregation, is determined in humans. The research will explore how unique...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $316,968.00 to Emory University to study the regulation, inhibition, and quality control mechanisms of ribosomes, which are the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. The research focuses on three key themes: 1) understanding translation fidelity events like miscoding, quality control, and mRNA frameshifting; 2)...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $421,999 to Emory University to investigate mechanisms of RNA localization and centrosome regulation. The research aims to determine how local RNA directs centrosome function and activity, particularly regarding cell cycle-dependent oscillations in RNA enrichment, conserved regulatory paradigms, and novel regulators. The 5-year project leverages genetically tractable models and multidisciplinary approaches to provide new insights into how centrosomes regulate their activities, which may inform understanding of centrosome dysfunction in developmental disorders, neurodegeneration, and cancer. The grant award period runs from July 1, 2025, through April 30, 2030.
