NIH-funded research (8)
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.
-
Bacterial stress responses and a potential new antimicrobial target
A bacteria-focused project explores how polyphosphate helps bacteria survive stress and how a drug already approved for humans could make bacteria more vulnerable to antibiotics.
-
Understanding how extraintestinal E. coli defends itself against reactive oxygen and chlorine
Researchers are studying how extraintestinal E. coli survive and thrive when attacked by the body's defense systems to help prevent and treat infections.
-
Genetic repair of muscle problems in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Aims to improve muscle and organ function in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy by testing genetic repair approaches and smooth muscle therapies.
-
Rapid, precise at‑home friendly diagnostic test using special antibodies and tiny light-boosting particles
A new point‑of‑care test uses specially arranged antibodies and enhanced particles to detect multiple disease markers quickly and accurately.
-
Improving antibody-gold nanoparticle interactions for better diagnostics
This study is working on making better tools for medical tests by improving how antibodies are attached to tiny gold particles, which could help make tests more accurate for diagnosing different health conditions.
-
Understanding how cholera bacteria attach and cause infection
This study is looking at how the bacteria that cause cholera stick to surfaces and form protective layers, focusing on a special structure they use to do this, which could help us find new ways to prevent cholera infections.
-
Understanding how bacteria respond to a new antimicrobial called AGXX
This study is looking at a new treatment called AGXX that might help fight tough infections caused by bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can be a problem for people with cystic fibrosis and burn injuries, to see if it can be a better option when antibiotics don’t work.
-
Improving how antibodies attach to gold nanoparticles for better diagnostics
This study is working on a new way to attach antibodies to tiny gold particles to make medical tests more reliable and effective, which could help doctors detect different health conditions more accurately.
