Broad CDK2/4/6 inhibitors to overcome resistance in cancer
A new set of selective CDK2/4/6 inhibitors will be explored to help patients whose cancers stop responding to current CDK4/6 therapies.
-
BRING-IT: Building Idaho State University’s Biomedical Research Capacity
A grant to help Idaho State University map its current research strengths and create a practical plan to grow biomedical research capacity for faculty and students.
-
Ceramide-based therapy targeting SMS1 to treat advanced prostate cancer
A new approach aims to slow or stop castration-resistant prostate cancer in men 65 and older by using molecules that mimic ceramide to block a key enzyme, potentially helping those whose cancer no longer responds to standard treatments.
-
Bone-targeted Ang1-7 for slowing breast cancer spread
A new treatment approach aims to deliver a cancer-fighting peptide directly to bone to help stop breast cancer from spreading, especially for hard-to-treat forms.
-
Using integral equations to map brain dynamics for better diagnosis
A machine-learning approach using nonlocal brain models aims to create continuous scores that reflect brain cognition and help diagnose cognitive disorders.
-
Shared microscope for cutting-edge biomedical imaging in Idaho
A request to buy a high-end confocal microscope that will help scientists at Idaho State University and partner centers study aging, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease using detailed 3D images.
-
Grael 4K PSG/EEG instrument for sleep and brain research
A new high-definition PSG/EEG machine will help researchers at Idaho State University study sleep, brain activity, and behavior.
-
Organ-on-a-Chip technology to study human biology and drug effects in Idaho
A state-of-the-art chip system with living human cells will be installed at Idaho State University to model human tissues and study how drugs behave and affect health.
-
How malaria parasites' mitochondria help them survive medicines
This project looks at how the malaria parasite's mitochondria let it survive treatments so researchers can find parts of the parasite that new drugs could target for people with malaria.
-
Math-based tools to read how brain signals change over time and space
Researchers will try math-driven machine learning to read brain recordings and produce continuous scores of cognitive function for people with memory, attention, or other thinking problems.
-
Understanding how malaria parasites regulate their mitochondrial genes
This study is looking at how the malaria parasite manages its genes to survive against treatments, with the hope of finding new ways to help patients get better and avoid drug resistance.
-
Improving animal welfare and research outcomes through advanced monitoring technology
This study is all about making sure that animals in research are kept in the best possible environment by using special technology to keep an eye on things like temperature and noise, which helps improve their well-being and leads to more trustworthy research results for everyone involved.
-
Exploring how a specific protein affects early embryo development and birth defects.
This study is looking at a protein called Masp1 to see how it affects early development in embryos, which could help us understand and prevent birth defects, especially for conditions like 3MC Syndrome.
-
Analyzing brain dynamics to improve cognitive diagnosis
This study is looking at new ways to understand how the brain works by using advanced math and computer techniques, which could help doctors better diagnose and treat cognitive issues by finding unique patterns in brain recordings.
-
Creating pathways for underrepresented students to enter biomedical careers
This program is designed to help first-generation and low-income college students from diverse backgrounds explore careers in biomedical fields by offering mentoring, hands-on research experiences, and special classes, so they can build their skills and confidence as future scientists.
-
Using AI to improve responses to patient deterioration in hospitals
This study is working on smart computer programs that help doctors spot when patients in the hospital are getting worse, like with conditions such as sepsis or kidney problems, so they can act quickly and improve care for everyone.
-
How metal ions affect the production of bacterial capsules
This study is looking at how certain metal nutrients like manganese, zinc, and calcium affect the way harmful bacteria, like Streptococcus pneumoniae, produce a protective layer that helps them survive, with the goal of finding new ways to treat bacterial infections and getting undergraduate students involved in the re
