- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $442,750.00 and provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to investigate the regulation of canonical and non-canonical substrates of histone lysine methyltransferases. The research aims to address key knowledge gaps in understanding the mechanisms of active chromatin inheritance and systematically investigating the importance of...
- This $1,737,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of innovative single-cell genomics technologies for joint analysis of regulatory dynamics and transcriptional states. Key objectives include: Developing multiomics tools to measure rates of epigenomic changes (DNA methylation, demethylation, oxidative damage, DNA repair) and relate these to...
- This Project Grant award of $1,792,800.00, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports the development of a nuclear alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) biosensor system to study the metabolic control of the epigenome. The project, awarded to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will create a new biomedical research tool to quantify changes in nuclear AKG levels with high...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under CFDA Program 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training, awarded a $148,880 Project Grant to Duke University to develop an ultra-high-throughput platform called Phage- and Robotics-Assisted Near Continuous Selection (PRANCS). The goal is to systematically characterize the natural specificity and impact of mutations on reader domain interactions with acetyl-modified histone subunits. The project aims to build improved...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $349,243 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Imagen Bioworks Inc. on September 12, 2025. The grant supports the development of an innovative "Spotlight-Omics" workflow that can cost-effectively isolate disease-relevant spatiotemporal phenotypes from live cell cultures for subsequent omics analysis. This workflow aims to address a critical limitation of current...
- This federal Project Grant award of $667,480.00 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Inc. The award supports fundamental scientific research and advanced training focused on understanding the regulation of genome expression by chromatin and how mutations in chromatin proteins contribute to oncogenesis. The research aims to provide new insights...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded Epicypher, Inc. a $1,264,176 project grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training federal grant program (CFDA 93.859) to develop a novel toolbox for studying how asymmetric post-translational modifications (PTMs) on nucleosomes regulate chromatin biology. The key products and services to be delivered include: A novel manufacturing method to efficiently generate asymmetric designer nucleosomes (A-dNucs) at commercial scale. This addresses a critical gap, as current methods for generating A-dNucs are highly inefficient. Application of A-dNucs to: a) uncover mechanisms of chromatin-associated protein (CAP) interactions, and b) develop genomic mapping assays using a recombinant detection reagent. These new tools will enable researchers to better leverage an understanding of the "histone code" to advance biomarker development and epigenetic-targeted therapies. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
