- The federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to understand the mechanisms linking the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene to dysregulated barrier function, insulin receptor function, and glucose transport in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The $730,494 award to Emory University, with a sub-award to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, aims to investigate...
- This $291,949 Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant was awarded to Biosettia Inc. (UEI: GZM5S2UYEGD2) located in San Diego, CA to support research aimed at using deep sequencing to measure variants of the endogenous retrovirus (ERV) GAG gene as potential biomarkers for type 1 diabetes. The project seeks...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), awarded a $621,794 Project Grant to Islex Therapeutics, LLC on August 1, 2025. The grant supports the preclinical development of a therapeutic antibody for treating type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1.5 million Americans. The objective is to establish proof-of-principle for a humanized...
- This $1,021,719.00 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant recipient, Emmyon, Inc., is developing a novel small molecule therapeutic (EMMY1-25) that has demonstrated the ability to promote weight loss without muscle loss and protect against dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells in mouse models of obesity and type 2...
- This $859,704 Project Grant was awarded on July 2, 2025 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research by Weill Medical College of Cornell University to investigate the role of the protein AGR2 in regulating host-microbe interactions and inflammatory processes in Crohn's disease. The research aims to enhance understanding of the cellular...
- This $2,782,476 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports research to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic beta cell response to metabolic stress, a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. The 4-year project aims to leverage in vitro human beta cell models, single-cell transcriptomic analyses, and targeted drug screening to delineate the dynamic chromatin and transcriptomic changes that...
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $280,122 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to Eldec Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in Chapel Hill, NC. The grant supports the development of a novel peptide therapeutic, ELD607, to treat cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). The funding will enable Eldec Pharmaceuticals to further research and evaluate ELD607, an antagonist that inhibits the ORAI1 calcium channel, which plays a key role in the inflammatory processes contributing to CFRD. Preliminary data from Eldec's studies in a chronic CF ferret model have shown that daily intramuscular administration of ELD607 can significantly reduce glucose levels, normalize blood cell levels, and decrease fibrosis associated with CFRD. The award period runs from September 2025 through June 2028.
