The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Sam Houston State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (SHSU-COM) a Project Grant of $249,978 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to acquire a state-of-the-art Olympus IX85 automated inverted microscope configured with Cicero spinning disc confocal technology. The instrumentation, awarded on August 1, 2026 with a completion date of July 31, 2027, will serve as a shared research resource supporting five active biomedical research programs investigating neurodevelopment, cancer, reproductive biology, and toxicology using zebrafish models, human cell culture, and oocytes. Research initiatives directly supported include investigations into selenophosphate synthetase 1's role in neural circuit formation, EGFR-targeted nanoemulsion treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer, integrin alpha 6's involvement in zebrafish hindbrain neurovascular development, and the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on human granulosa cells and early embryos. The microscopy platform will enhance SHSU-COM's capacity to accelerate data acquisition, improve spatial and temporal resolution of live and fixed specimens, and enable multi-channel fluorescence imaging critical for advancing basic and translational biomedical research at this rural-serving medical institution. Additionally, the instrumentation will strengthen educational outcomes by providing hands-on microscopy training for medical and graduate students, supporting physician-scientist development and enhancing the institution's contribution to the broader biomedical research enterprise.Federal Grant Award Summary
