The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $235,403 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to The Johns Hopkins University. The funding will support the development of a membrane-reconstituted ZNT8 biosensor to detect cell-surface ZNT8 autoantibodies in the peripheral blood of patients with type-1 diabetes. This novel bioanalytical tool aims to enable the early detection of islet autoimmunity, which could help establish evidence-based diagnostics and interventions for type-1 diabetes. The project will run from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025. Additionally, The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $6,684,550 sub-award to collaborate on this research.
