This $553,545 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to elucidate the mechanisms by which methylation of the GNAS gene regulates allelic expression of the Gsα protein and hormone signaling in specific tissues. The research will employ human embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell models to...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $235,707 to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to characterize the utility of [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/MRI in pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET). The key objectives are to: Determine the range of DOTATATE PET standardized uptake values (SUVs) in PitNET and explore associations with clinical, demographic, and endocrine variables. Compare PET/MRI-guided vs....
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania a $700,619 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The goal of this 4-year research project, awarded on August 19, 2024, is to study and control rhythmic nephron induction for kidney replacement tissues using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The research aims to determine the...

This $2,845,159 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program will fund the establishment of the National Biorepository and Resource for Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumor Translational Research (BIOPITNET). The grant aims to create a comprehensive research platform and biorepository focused on pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), a rare and understudied disease that can lead to Cushing's disease and other serious health complications. The BIOPITNET will generate novel research tools, clinical data, and biological samples to accelerate the development of targeted therapies for PitNET-related diseases. Key objectives include developing a PitNET classification system, establishing a biobank of induced pluripotent stem cell lines, and building an interdisciplinary research infrastructure to support hypothesis-driven investigations. The award will be administered by the University of Arizona, a recognized leader in biomedical research, from September 1, 2024, through July 31, 2029.
