- This federal Project Grant award of $499,987 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) to CFD Research Corporation to develop a High Throughput Alcohol Screening Platform (HT-ASP) incorporating cortical organoids. The goal is to create a complex, in vitro model of the human brain using organoid technology to better understand the effects of alcohol and screen potential therapeutics. This 1-year award, starting on May 15,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded a $390,454 Project Grant to Envisbio LLC to develop novel therapeutic aptamers targeting phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project aims to identify and characterize PDE4B-specific aptamers that can modulate PDE4B activity, with the goal of advancing these modulators into in vivo testing and eventual human clinical trials for...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded a $746,544 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to study the impact of personalized genetic and phenotypic feedback on early drinking behaviors among Asian American college students. This research builds upon prior NIAAA-funded studies conducted by USC, which demonstrated sustained effects on self-reported alcohol use and protective behaviors in...
- This federal Project Grant award of $423,313, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to develop an AI-driven platform for identifying potential therapeutic candidates for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The award to Biosymetrics Inc., based in Huntington, NY, will leverage the company's existing AI-based zebrafish behavioral screening technology and AUD-specific experimental findings to create a commercial...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $248,844 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for research on the use of blood-based RNA biomarkers to diagnose and monitor Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The research aims to determine whether blood gene expression profiles can serve as a non-invasive proxy for brain tissue to aid in personalized medicine approaches...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA, CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) provides $647,330 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on the role of epigenetics in predisposing the brain to risky alcohol use. The researchers will perform a longitudinal genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of the rhesus macaque dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to identify biomarkers associated with future alcohol drinking levels. The goal...
- This federal Project Grant award of $701,051 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The grant supports research to investigate the phenotypes and functions of distinct neutrophil populations in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Key objectives include: 1) Characterizing the transcriptomic profiles and functional roles of neutrophil subsets in AH using single-cell RNA sequencing; 2)...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $438,375 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to establish a human liver-on-a-chip model for studying alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The 2-year project, starting September 2023, aims to investigate the roles of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and acetaldehyde metabolism in regulating ethanol-induced liver damage as well as the contribution of fibrotic...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,742,166 Project Grant under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs to the Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus. The grant supports a comprehensive evaluation to assess the associations of state alcohol taxation and related policy environment with state-level alcohol treatment facilities capacity and key alcohol use disorder (AUD) health service outcomes. The project...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, supports a $559,180 research project to investigate neurobiological factors underlying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with and without comorbid cigarette smoking. The project aims to identify AUD-associated differences in DNA methylation and RNA expression in the nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, key brain regions...
