Loyola University New Orleans received a $249,995 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027. The award funds the acquisition of a laser scanning confocal microscope to support faculty research, undergraduate student training, and educational initiatives across three academic departments: Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Psychology and Neuroscience. This instrument will enable advanced imaging research on multiple fronts, including investigation of micropeptides in neuronal aging and dementia/Alzheimer's disease pathology, transcription factors in connective tissue development relevant to rheumatoid arthritis, cellular mechanisms of cancer polarity and tissue regeneration, and characterization of microorganisms in Louisiana's wetland ecosystems. The confocal microscope will serve as the centerpiece equipment for a new mid-curriculum course titled "Microscopy for the Life Sciences," providing hands-on training to undergraduate students on advanced imaging techniques using diverse sample types ranging from whole organisms to organ systems. As a primarily undergraduate institution, Loyola integrates research participation throughout its curriculum to prepare students for graduate study and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The equipment acquisition directly supports the institution's mission of enhancing undergraduate research experiences and workforce development in biomedical sciences.Federal Grant Award Summary
