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) program, provides $361,975 to support research focused on developing chemical strategies for imaging and manipulating astrocytes in the brain. The project aims to expand the capabilities of an astrocyte-targeting chemical tag to enable direct visualization and modulation of astrocyte function, as well as the interactions between astrocytes and neurons. Key objectives include delivering fluorescent reporters, drugs, and transcription activators specifically to astrocytes, and exploring the potential for using the astrocyte-targeting tag to label astrocytes proximal to neuronal axonal projections. This award will support these research activities at Stony Brook University from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
