- 23NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (23)
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.
-
Synthesis of Dihydrobenzofuran Natural Products That Modulate Immune Response
A scientist plans to make new dihydrobenzofuran compounds in the lab that could help reduce inflammation and potentially aid conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
-
Calcium Sensor DREAM and Pollutant-Triggered Pancreatic Stress
Researchers are studying how certain pollutants might disrupt calcium signaling in the pancreas and affect insulin- and hormone-secreting cells, which could influence diabetes-related health.
-
Understanding how Latino caregivers engage with early autism services
This project looks at how Latino families engage with early intervention services for children with autism to improve access and quality of care.
-
Role of AnnexinA2 in HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 virus assembly
Scientists are studying how a protein called AnnexinA2 helps HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses assemble inside cells, which could point to new ways to block these infections.
-
Aorta remodeling after endovascular repair and its long-term effects
This project looks at how the aorta changes after repair with endografts and what that means for people with type-B aortic dissection.
-
De Novo Synthesis of Collagen-Like Polymers for Biomedical Uses
A new method to make large, collagen-like polymers in the lab that could be used for safer, customizable medical materials.
-
Role of ApoE in keeping the brain’s protective barrier strong
This grant explores how the apolipoprotein E (apoE) protein helps safeguard the brain’s barrier against leaks, especially in people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
-
Molecular Nanomotors for Targeted Cancer Therapies Using Light Activation
A scientist team is developing tiny light-activated motors that can disrupt cancer cell membranes to help treat cancer with fewer side effects.
-
How the immune protein C1q helps artery-cleaning cells remove cholesterol
Looking at whether the immune protein C1q helps artery-cleaning immune cells remove cholesterol and reduce inflammation in people at risk of atherosclerosis.
-
How the aorta changes after endovascular repair with stent-grafts
This project looks at how using multiple stent-grafts in less-invasive aortic repair changes aortic shape and blood flow in people with type B aortic dissection.
-
Helping Latino caregivers get the most from early autism services
This project works with Latino families of very young children with autism to strengthen caregiver involvement and improve the quality of early intervention services.
-
Improving screening and intervention for prescription stimulant misuse among college health providers
This study is working on a new training program for college health providers to help them spot and tackle the misuse of prescription stimulants among students, making sure both health providers and students can work together to create a safer campus environment.
-
Developing light-activated nanomotors for targeted drug delivery and treatment
This study is exploring how tiny light-activated motors can help deliver medicine more effectively for conditions like cancer and tough infections, aiming to make treatments work better and cause fewer side effects.
-
Effects of stress during pregnancy on mothers and their infants
This study is looking at how stress in low-income pregnant moms can impact their health and their babies' health, focusing on a hormone called cortisol and some genetic factors, to help us understand how these things might affect the baby's health in the first six months after birth.
-
How a protein affects immune cells involved in heart disease
This study is looking at how a protein called C1q affects immune cells that help manage cholesterol and inflammation, which could lead to better treatments for atherosclerosis, a condition that can cause heart attacks and strokes.
-
Understanding how a protein helps HIV and COVID-19 viruses assemble
This study is looking at how a protein called AnnexinA2 helps the HIV and COVID-19 viruses to infect cells better, with the hope that understanding this process will lead to new treatments for these infections.
-
Understanding Latino Caregiver Involvement in Autism Services
This study is looking at how Latino caregivers interact with early help services for kids with autism, aiming to understand what helps or hinders their involvement so that these services can be better for families like yours.
-
Program to support underrepresented students in biomedical research careers
This study is all about helping underrepresented students who want to build careers in biomedical research by giving them the training, support, and opportunities they need to succeed in science.
-
Acquisition of a confocal microscope for advanced 3D imaging
This study is about getting a special microscope that helps scientists and students at California State University, Long Beach take clearer 3D pictures of biological samples, like tissues, so they can better understand and create new materials for medical research.
-
Creating synthetic collagen-like materials for medical use
This study is working on making new materials that act like collagen, which could help improve treatments for patients needing tissue repair or regeneration.
-
Understanding how cancer cells survive stress in their environment
This study is looking at how cancer cells cope with tough conditions in their environment and trying to find ways to make them more sensitive to treatments, which could help develop better therapies for cancer patients.
-
Developing a new coating for drug-eluting stents
This study is looking at new coatings for stents, which are used to keep your blood vessels open after treatment, to see how changes in their structure can help them deliver medicine better and make stents safer and more effective for people with blocked arteries.
-
Exploring how discrimination affects heart health in African American women
This study is looking at how stress from experiencing discrimination affects heart health in African American women, and it will involve 90 participants sharing their real-life experiences to help us understand this connection better.
