Understanding how a Pseudomonas protein blocks bacterial cell wall helpers in CF infections
A scientist team will study a Pseudomonas protein that may help the bacteria resist antibiotics in cystic fibrosis patients, by figuring out its 3D shape and how it interferes with enzymes that break down the bacterial wall.
-
Creating models to simulate blood flow in the brain
This study is creating special models that imitate how blood flows in the brains of children with sickle cell disease, so researchers can improve a tool that measures blood flow and help doctors better understand and screen for stroke risks in young patients.
-
Understanding how a harmful bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, causes infection
This project aims to understand how a common but dangerous bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, controls its genes to cause infections and resist antibiotics.
-
Developing a New Medicine for African Sleeping Sickness
This research is creating and testing a promising new medicine called NEU-4438 to treat human African trypanosomiasis, also known as African Sleeping Sickness.
-
Using smartphones to detect diabetic eye disease in Egypt
This study is working on a new, affordable way to check for eye problems caused by diabetes using smartphones, making it easier for people in places like Egypt to get the eye care they need and help prevent blindness.
-
Understanding how certain proteins affect heart and muscle development
This study is looking at how two proteins, Akirin and Pannier, work together to help develop the heart and muscles in embryos, with the hope of finding out more about the genetic causes of heart defects and muscle diseases, which could lead to better treatments for those conditions.
-
Understanding how social factors affect mental health in young women living in slums.
This study is looking at how living in tough conditions affects the mental health of young women aged 18-24 in slums in Kampala, Uganda, and it aims to find out if training to improve their economic situation can help them feel better and cope with stress.
-
How epithelial cells change shape during development
This study looks at how certain genes and signals help skin-like cells in our organs change shape, which is important for keeping us healthy, and it hopes to find answers that could help people with conditions like carotid artery disease and tumors.
-
Understanding how prenatal exposure to cannabis affects brain development and memory.
This study is looking at how being exposed to cannabis before birth might affect a child's ability to learn and remember things, and it aims to find out how this happens in the brain, so we can better help kids who might struggle with these issues.
-
Increasing diversity in doctoral programs for biomedical sciences
This study is creating a program to help students from diverse backgrounds succeed in getting their master's and PhD degrees in biomedical sciences, making sure they have the support and training they need to thrive in their studies.
-
Understanding how a protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa interacts with enzymes related to cystic fibrosis.
This study is looking at a protein from a bacteria that can cause infections in people with cystic fibrosis, to understand how it helps the bacteria survive and resist antibiotics, which could help find better ways to treat these infections.
-
Identifying key genes in the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa that contribute to antibiotic resistance
This study is looking at how a germ called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can make people with weak immune systems, like those with cystic fibrosis, very sick, controls its harmful abilities, and it hopes to find new ways to fight against antibiotic resistance.
-
Using step counts to improve body weight and heart health in overweight adults
This study is looking at how setting daily step goals can help overweight and obese adults get healthier by improving their body shape and lowering health risks, all while enjoying their favorite foods over an eight-month program.
-
Affordable screening for stroke risk in children with sickle cell disease
This study is looking for a simple and affordable way to check if children with sickle cell disease are at risk for strokes, using a new method that could help catch problems early and keep them safe.
-
Understanding how certain gene expressions affect cell function in developmental disorders
This study is looking at how certain genes and changes in DNA packaging might cause Kabuki-like syndrome, a condition that affects development, by using tiny worms to see how these changes lead to problems in growth and cell function, with the hope of finding ways to help.
-
Increasing dental sealants for adolescents to improve oral health
This study is looking at how putting more dental sealants on kids' back teeth can help prevent cavities and improve their oral health, especially for middle school students from low-income families.
-
Investigating how NOS3 and p38 MAP kinase interact and regulate each other
This study is looking at how two important proteins in our bodies work together, which could help us find new ways to treat diseases like heart problems, diabetes, and cancer.
-
