Evaluating the toxicity...
- This $392,863 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support research at Duke University to develop therapeutics for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 48 (SCA48), a rare genetic neurodegenerative disorder. The researchers will optimize and miniaturize assays to screen for small molecules that can restore the proper folding and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, supports the development of a blood-based biomarker for characterizing disease progression and therapeutic response in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The awardee, Neurodex Inc., a small for-profit organization, is advancing the validation of an assay for measuring...
- The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was awarded a $1,169,064 Cooperative Agreement grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The purpose of this 5-year award is to finalize refinement and validation of a primary clinical outcome assessment, the FXTAS Rating Scale (FXTAS-RS), as well as a set of neurocognitive, motor, and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to develop a novel gene therapy approach to reduce neurotoxicity in Parkinson's disease. The $1,009,212 award to the Van Andel Research Institute in Grand Rapids, MI will fund pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and in vivo efficacy studies to enhance the activity of the...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $423,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. The objective is to develop and evaluate engineered exosomes carrying neuron-targeting peptides and a therapeutic protein (neuroglobin) for treating ischemic stroke. The research will: 1) characterize the engineered exosomes and assess their...
- This $490,501 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), supports Janusq LLC, a startup biotech company spun out of Case Western Reserve University, in developing a peptide-based therapy called HV-3 for the treatment of Huntington's disease (HD). The key objectives of this 16-month project are to: (1) perform preliminary safety and toxicity...
- The federal Project Grant award R15NS137207, valued at $389,851, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports research at the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH) to investigate the role of the RPM-1 signaling network in tau protein-related neurodegeneration using a C. elegans tauopathy model. The proposed research...
This $454,437 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports the development and validation of efficacy biomarkers for QTE therapy in Friedreich's Ataxia. Anekabio LLC, in partnership with the University of Florida, is conducting this Phase I STTR project to identify and validate biological indicators in blood and muscle that can reliably measure the effectiveness of their innovative QTE therapy, which has demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in preclinical studies. The validated biomarkers are essential for future clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of QTE therapy as a potential treatment option for Friedreich's Ataxia, a severe and often fatal neurodegenerative disease. This 2-year project is expected to establish the necessary biomarkers to support Anekabio's transition of QTE therapy from preclinical research to human clinical trials.
