- This $522,167 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research into the "Mechanisms of rDNA Instability During Aging" at the University of Virginia. The project will investigate the role of the FOB1 protein and the RNA Polymerase I transcription factor UAF in regulating double-strand breaks and recombination at the ribosomal DNA locus, a key driver of genomic instability and aging. The research will utilize innovative techniques...
- The National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) awarded a $506,000 Project Grant to the Scripps Research Institute to engineer a novel biomolecular condensate (BMC)-based tool with tunable physicochemical properties. The goal is to create an orthogonal selective autophagy receptor (SAR)-like BMC capable of supporting autophagosome biogenesis and selective cargo recruitment. This will enable detailed investigation of the biophysical regulatory mechanisms of BMCs in autophagy, which...
- This $1,081,439 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to uncover the biochemical mechanisms behind cellular aging. The project, titled "TRACING THE COORDINATED CONTROL OF NAD+ HOMEOSTASIS", aims to create a comprehensive database and metabolic map of NAD+ biology throughout the lifespan. This research will investigate how NAD+ metabolism is maintained, regulated, and disrupted as cells age, with...
- This $2,991,725 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research into the role of reactive oxygen species as modulators of lifespan and age-related diseases. The 4-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2025, aims to investigate a novel longevity paradigm in C. elegans that is triggered by early-life oxidative stress and mediated by changes in the epigenetic landscape. The research will examine the conserved mechanisms...
- This federal Project Grant award of $438,625.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to Brown University aims to study how the cellular senescence phenotype changes over time and develop technology to track the duration of cells in senescent states. The key objectives are to (1) examine how the senescence phenotype, including the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), evolves from early to deeper states, and (2) advance a multi-symbol molecular recorder...
- This Project Grant award for $446,875 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to gain genetic insights into cellular senescence using the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain. The project aims to leverage the powerful genetics of Drosophila to identify key drivers of senescence in neurons and glia, with the goal of modulating senescence onset and mitigating associated age-related brain decline. The award is held by the Trustees of the University of...
