- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded The University of Iowa $427,625 on August 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop novel organoid models that resolve fibroblast-epithelial-extracellular matrix niche regulation. The funded research addresses how fibroblasts signal with and sense their environment, with particular focus on fibroblast-epithelial cell communication and interaction with the extracellular matrix. The...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Idaho State University $239,113 on September 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to integrate an Emulate organ-on-a-chip system into the university's Pharmaceutical Sciences Core. The organ-on-a-chip platform uses microengineered chips lined with living human cells to replicate human organ function, providing a physiologically relevant alternative to conventional in vitro and animal models. The system will be installed in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Core, which delivers comprehensive research support in drug discovery, development, and stability testing and serves as a hub for biomedical researchers and their students throughout Idaho. The Emulate platform builds on prior investments in advanced tissue modeling and bioprinting technologies and advances capacity for creation of high-fidelity human tissue and organ models that will be used to study drug action, distribution, and toxicity with greater accuracy than traditional approaches. Initial projects include development of vascularized human cancer models, infectious disease systems, organ-specific drug toxicity studies, improved drug delivery strategies for diabetic foot ulcers, and general biological research. Performance occurs in Pocatello, Idaho, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
