This $3,360,074 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866). The grant is funding research led by the University of Pennsylvania to develop short RNA therapeutics that can combat TDP-43 proteinopathy, a key pathological feature of several devastating neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. The research aims to prevent and reverse the aberrant phase transitions of TDP-43, a critical RNA-binding protein, in order to restore its proper nuclear localization and function in degenerating neurons. The project is expected to be completed by August 31, 2029.
