Project Grant R43NS139721
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $643,377.00, 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 to investigate cellular mechanisms of enteric nervous system damage in CLN2 disease, a rare neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder. The research aims to better understand how lysosomal dysfunction leads to...
- This $803,958 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 of an innovative approach to deliver a more biologically stable form of the enzyme acid β-glucosidase (GCase) through the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. The goal is to enable treatment for neuronopathic Gaucher disease, a...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) at the Department of Health and Human Services provides $1,850,000 in funding to Biostrategies LC to advance the development of BIOS-GM1, a novel gene therapy and enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of GM1 gangliosidosis. The grant supports Biostrategies' efforts to complete IND-enabling studies for BIOS-GM1, which combines an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy approach with a lectin-enhanced enzyme delivery...
- This $699,818 Project Grant awarded on July 8, 2025 by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) aims to develop an effective adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy product for treating Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIC (MPS IIIC), a rare and devastating lysosomal storage disease. The project seeks to leverage extracellular vesicle-mediated mRNA trafficking to...
- 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 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $1,270,237 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 5-year grant, effective August 1, 2025, will support a program to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms associated with neural disease in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG). The program will utilize zebrafish, Drosophila, and human...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $427,104.00, 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, is focused on identifying biomarkers of demyelination and remyelination in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The key objectives are to profile proteins and lipids in tissue-derived and plasma-derived extracellular vesicles to discover novel biomarkers...
- The federal Project Grant award of $719,498 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) supports research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute to elucidate the neurobiological functions of glycosylation and its role in congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). The research aims to identify the neurological impacts of disrupted...
- This federal Project Grant award of $525,436.00 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 on the structural pharmacology of GIRK channel disease mutants. The research aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the loss of potassium selectivity and constitutive activation of GIRK2 channels associated with Keppen-Lubinsky syndrome, a...
This federal Project Grant award of $500,000.00 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, is supporting research by Tega Therapeutics Inc. to develop new clinical biomarkers for GM1 gangliosidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. The project aims to confirm whether levels of specific glycan metabolites in urine and/or cerebrospinal fluid reflect changes in tissue levels following enzyme replacement therapy in a GM1 gangliosidosis mouse model. If successful, these metabolites could serve as non-invasive biomarkers to monitor therapy in clinical trials and diagnose newborn patients. The award commenced on August 5, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2026.
