- 18NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (18)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Enhancing Drug Discovery with Free Energy Modeling
A college project is developing improved computer methods to predict how strongly proteins and drugs stick together, helping scientists discover new medicines.
-
Next-generation allosteric PRC2 inhibitors to fight cancer
A study to develop new cancer drugs that block a key epigenetic pathway, aiming to help patients whose cancers resist current treatments.
-
Genetic and environmental influences on how sweet a person in the U.S. likes sugar across different ancestral groups
This project looks at how genetics and environment shape how much people in diverse U.S. groups enjoy sweetness and how that affects sugar intake.
-
Hypoxia research tool grant to study oxygen levels in cancer biology
This grant funds a hypoxia chamber to help Brooklyn College researchers study how different oxygen levels affect cancer-related processes.
-
Platinum-Gold Compounds as Potential Chemo- and Targeted Agents for Ovarian Cancer
A new platinum(IV)-gold compound approach could offer a more effective and targeted treatment for ovarian cancer patients, potentially reducing resistance and side effects of current platinum therapies.
-
How prenatal choline and maternal high-fat diets affect a child's future risk of fatty liver (NASH)
This work tests whether giving extra choline during pregnancy can lower offspring risk of fatty liver disease when exposed to high-fat diets.
-
How Genes and Environment Shape Sweet Cravings
This project explores how our genes and surroundings influence our desire for sweet foods across different groups of people in the U.S.
-
New Platinum-Gold Drugs for Ovarian Cancer
This research is creating new platinum-gold drugs to better treat ovarian cancer, especially for patients whose cancer has become resistant to current chemotherapy.
-
How choline and fat during pregnancy affect liver health in offspring
This study is looking at how what moms eat, especially choline and fats, can affect their children's liver health and risk of developing a condition called NASH, especially if the mom is overweight, to find ways to help prevent this in kids.
-
Exploring new platinum-gold compounds for treating ovarian cancer
This study is exploring new treatment options for ovarian cancer using special platinum-gold compounds that might work better and cause fewer side effects for patients who haven't responded to standard chemotherapy.
-
How genetics and environment affect sweet taste preferences in different ancestry groups in the U.S.
This study is looking at how our genes and the environment shape how much we like sweet foods, especially in non-Hispanic African and Asian groups, to help find ways to reduce sugar intake and improve health for everyone.
-
Investigating new treatments for cancer by targeting gene regulation mechanisms.
This study is exploring new cancer treatments that target a specific protein complex called PRC2, which is involved in how genes are controlled, with the hope of creating better therapies for patients to improve their chances of recovery and lower the risk of cancer coming back.
-
Improving drug discovery using advanced computational models
This study is working on a new way to help scientists better predict how well drugs will connect with their target proteins, making it easier for them to discover new medicines, and it also aims to teach students and researchers the skills they need in this important field.
-
Increasing diversity in biomedical and clinical education for under-represented students
This program is designed to help college students from under-represented backgrounds gain valuable skills and experiences in science through summer courses, research projects, and mentorship, so they can feel more confident and prepared for advanced studies in STEM fields.
-
Understanding how hormones and sound affect hearing and communication in fish
This study is looking at how hormones and sounds affect hearing in fish, which might help us understand how our own hearing works, especially when it comes to social interactions and hearing loss.
-
Understanding how a protein affects fat breakdown in the body
This study is looking at how a protein called ABHD5 helps your body break down fats, which is important for understanding issues like diabetes and obesity, especially if there are changes in this protein that could affect your health.
-
Investigating how a specific gene alteration affects brain cell health in frontotemporal dementia.
This study is looking at how changes in a specific gene related to frontotemporal dementia affect brain cells, and it aims to find new ways to help treat this condition by exploring how certain proteins behave in both yeast and human brain cells.
-
Understanding how cues influence reward learning in substance use disorders
This study looks at how certain signals that predict rewards can affect learning and behavior in people with substance use disorders, focusing on how the brain processes these signals and how this might differ from person to person.
