The Trustees of Boston University will receive $330,000 from the Defense Health Agency under a Project Grant award to identify receptors for TDP-43 that mediate cellular uptake and neurotoxicity. This research is being conducted under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420), which supports basic, applied, and advanced biomedical research to transform military and public health care through innovative medical solutions for battlefield injuries and other health issues. Boston University will investigate medical solutions for injuries on the battlefield by working to understand how the TDP-43 protein interacts with cells and causes neurotoxicity. This research could help develop new treatments for neurological disorders associated with TDP-43 protein misfolding and aggregation. The period of performance for this award is from February 15, 2021 through August 14, 2023.
