- This $499,588 Project Grant was awarded on September 22, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Exqor Technologies Inc., a small disadvantaged business located in Boston, MA. The goal of this project is to develop non-radioactive nanoprobes that can be used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) protein, which is implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The...
- The University of Illinois has been awarded a $1,870,822 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop new super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques. The goal is to achieve ultra-high resolution imaging of native amyloid-alpha receptors (AMPARs) in brain slices to study synaptic plasticity in both healthy and tauopathy conditions. The research will utilize multi-color imaging and digital image reconstruction methods to isolate...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), through its Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $498,366 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a platform for high-resolution imaging of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to assess biological age. The project aims to pioneer the use of imaging-based chromatin and epigenetic age (IMAGE) analysis to capture changes in the spatial organization of chromatin and epigenetic marks that...
- This Project Grant award of $493,384 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research supports the development and validation of an eyedrop-based diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The funding will enable Tauvision, Inc., a small for-profit business, to optimize a fluorescent dye compound that can label AD-related protein aggregates in the eye, allowing non-invasive imaging and measurement of AD biomarkers using standard ophthalmology equipment.
