- 12NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (12)
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.
-
Mysterious sibling-inhibiting molecule from E. coli and its potential new antibiotics
A scientist team is studying a tiny molecule produced by E. coli that can block the growth of many bacteria, including tough pathogens, with the goal of discovering new antibiotics.
-
AI-powered design of brighter, safer NIR-II fluorescent materials for imaging
A tiny grant is funding AI-driven methods to design brighter, more stable NIR-II fluorophores for medical imaging and surgical guidance.
-
A backup protein-making switch in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer
This project looks at whether a backup way cancer cells make proteins helps triple-negative breast cancer cells survive stress and spread.
-
Water-aware computer drug design for COVID-19 and opioid-related pain
This project uses computer models of water around key proteins to speed the discovery of new drug starting points for COVID-19 and mu-opioid receptor–related pain.
-
Understanding how cells sense nutrients like sulfur, important for health
This project explores how living cells, including human cells, detect and respond to essential nutrients like sulfur, using plants as a model.
-
Investigating how a different method of protein production affects advanced breast cancer metabolism
This study is looking at how advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer changes the way it uses energy to survive tough conditions, like low oxygen or lack of nutrients, and hopes to find new ways to help patients by understanding how their cancer works better.
-
Finding pain-relieving compounds in Aconitum plants
This study is looking for new, safer pain relief options from Aconitum plants, which have been used in traditional medicine, to help people manage pain without the side effects of opioids.
-
Investigating a new cancer therapy using translation initiation inhibitors
This study is looking at how a substance called Interleukin-24 (IL-24) can help kill cancer cells and shrink tumors while being gentle on healthy cells, with the goal of creating a new treatment for solid tumors.
-
Developing new tools for faster drug discovery targeting COVID-19 and pain relief.
This study is working on new ways to find better medicines for pain and COVID-19 by looking closely at how certain proteins in our bodies interact with potential drugs, which could lead to more effective treatments for patients.
-
Investigating how depression affects cognitive decline in older African Americans
This study is looking at how depression and inflammation might affect thinking skills in African Americans aged 85 and older who are not experiencing dementia, with the goal of finding ways to help reduce the risk of dementia in this group.
-
Understanding how cell death affects inflammation and organ injury
This study is looking at how certain cell death processes affect inflammation during bacterial infections, aiming to find ways to boost the good inflammation that helps you heal while reducing the bad inflammation that can cause damage.
-
Understanding how food crops absorb harmful metals and essential nutrients
This study is looking at how food crops absorb both harmful metals like cadmium and helpful nutrients like iron and zinc, with the goal of developing plants that can give us the good stuff without the bad, especially to keep kids safe from cadmium in their diets.
