- 11NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (11)
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.
-
Targeted gene-delivery using bacteriophage T4 capsids for HIV cure support
A grant to buy a modern high-speed centrifuge so researchers can reliably produce bacteriophage T4 nanoparticles that carry gene-editing tools aimed at HIV cure.
-
Alcohol-related changes in protein acetylation and how they harm the liver
This project explores how alcohol changes protein chemistry in liver cells and what that means for liver disease.
-
Rapid antibiotic choices in 30 minutes for bacterial infections
A fast microfluidic test that helps doctors pick the right antibiotic within about half an hour for serious bacterial infections.
-
Engineered bacteriophage therapy to make blood stem cells resistant to HIV
This work is developing an engineered bacteriophage that aims to edit a person’s blood-forming stem cells inside the body so those cells and their descendants are resistant to HIV.
-
How Bacteriophage T4 Packs Its Genome and How That Could Help Gene Therapy
Researchers study how a virus called bacteriophage T4 packs and releases its DNA, and they aim to use those insights to develop a gene therapy approach for muscular dystrophy.
-
How alcohol changes protein acetylation in the liver
This project looks at whether alcohol-driven chemical changes on liver proteins block the cell's transport system and cause fatty liver, and whether supplements that mimic calorie restriction might protect people with alcohol-related liver disease.
-
Developing a new treatment to cure HIV using engineered viruses
This study is testing a new way to help people with HIV by using a special treatment that makes their own blood stem cells resistant to the virus, which could lead to a potential cure, especially for those who are more affected by HIV due to substance use.
-
Understanding how viruses package their genetic material and its potential use in treating muscular dystrophy
This study is exploring how a virus called T4 packs its DNA, with the hope that understanding this process can help create new gene therapies for people with muscular dystrophy, a condition that weakens muscles.
-
Understanding how chronic alcohol use leads to liver cancer
This study is looking at how drinking alcohol over a long time can lead to liver cancer, focusing on certain genetic changes that might help us find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition for people who are affected.
-
How robotic training affects hand muscle coordination in stroke survivors
This study is looking at how different types of robot-assisted training can help stroke survivors improve their hand movements and muscle coordination, so they can recover better and regain their hand function.
-
Understanding how keratin 19 affects drug resistance in breast cancer
This study is looking at how a protein called keratin 19 affects breast cancer cells' ability to resist certain treatments, with the goal of finding better ways to personalize therapy for patients with advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
