NIH-funded research (20)
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.
-
Enhanced Safety and Health Training for Western Mine Workers
A program to improve safety and health training for miners in the Western United States.
-
How the pancreas environment affects insulin-producing cells in type 1 diabetes
Researchers are studying how the surrounding tissue of the pancreas and its proteins influence insulin-producing cells in people with type 1 diabetes.
-
Role of the pancreas environment in protecting islet cells in type 1 diabetes
A research project is exploring how the surrounding tissue of the pancreas affects the survival and function of insulin-producing beta cells in type 1 diabetes.
-
Machine-designed polymers to deliver gene-editing tools into blood stem cells
This project uses AI to design polymer carriers that help deliver gene-editing proteins into blood stem cells more safely and affordably.
-
Inhaled magnetic microbots to deliver chemotherapy directly to lung tumors
Researchers will use tiny inhaled magnetic microbots to carry chemotherapy straight to lung tumors to help people with lung cancer get stronger doses where needed with fewer whole-body side effects.
-
Contact lenses that deliver medicine to the back of the eye
Special contact lenses are being developed to slowly deliver medicines to people with retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration.
-
Using machine learning to create polymers for delivering genetic material into cells
This study is working on new materials that can help deliver important molecules into blood-forming stem cells more safely and effectively, which could lead to better and more affordable gene therapies for patients.
-
Using tiny robots to deliver cancer treatment directly to the lungs
This study is exploring a new way to treat lung cancer using tiny robots that you can breathe in, which deliver medicine right to the cancer cells in your lungs, aiming to make treatment more effective and with fewer side effects.
-
Understanding how the pancreas environment affects insulin-producing cells in Type 1 Diabetes
This project explores how changes in the pancreas surrounding insulin-making cells might contribute to Type 1 Diabetes.
-
GoldInLens contact lenses that warm the eyelids from the inside
A special contact lens warmed by a low-intensity light to gently melt and release oils from blocked meibomian glands to help people with dry eye from meibomian gland dysfunction.
-
Developing new drugs to fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections
This study is looking for new medicines that can help fight tough bacterial infections, like those caused by S. aureus and E. faecalis, by blocking a key process that these bacteria need to survive, which could lead to better treatments for infections that don't respond well to current antibiotics.
-
New contact lenses for delivering drugs to the back of the eye
This study is working on new contact lenses that can deliver medicine right to the back of your eye, making it easier and safer to treat conditions like age-related macular degeneration without the need for painful injections.
-
New contact lenses to treat serious eye infections
This study is testing a new type of contact lens that delivers antibiotics directly to the eye to help treat a serious eye infection called microbial keratitis, making it easier for patients to manage their treatment without needing to use eye drops all the time.
-
Using special cell culture techniques to enhance stem cell delivery methods.
This study is exploring new ways to help deliver genetic material more effectively into stem cells, which could lead to better treatments for patients using stem cell therapies.
-
Understanding how the pancreas environment affects insulin-producing cells in Type 1 Diabetes
This study is looking at how the environment around insulin-producing cells in the pancreas affects their health and survival in people with Type 1 Diabetes, especially focusing on how the loss of certain proteins might lead to problems with these cells early in the disease.
-
Improving safety training for mine workers in the Western U.S.
This study is all about improving health and safety training for mine workers in the Western U.S., making sure they learn how to stay safe on the job through hands-on courses with experienced teachers, especially reaching out to those who might not usually get this training.
-
Investigating how the surrounding protein structure affects insulin production in type 1 diabetes.
This study is looking at how the support structure around insulin-producing cells in the pancreas changes during type 1 diabetes and how these changes affect the cells' ability to survive and work properly, with the hope of finding new ways to help improve insulin production and overall function for people with this co
-
How the extracellular matrix affects bone growth and healing in children
This study is looking at how injuries to the growth plate in kids can affect their bone growth and aims to find new ways to help heal these injuries and prevent problems like growth deformities.
-
Improving stem cell therapy using special sugar-like materials.
This study is looking at how to make special stem cells work better for treating autoimmune disorders and cancer by giving them a little genetic boost and using materials that help them grow, which could lead to safer and more effective treatments for these conditions.
-
Creating tiny factories inside cells to produce cancer-fighting drugs
This study is exploring new tiny materials that can safely deliver and turn on cancer-fighting drugs right inside your cells, aiming to make treatments more effective and reduce side effects for patients like you.
