NIH-funded research (11)
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.
-
Pulsatility in the Retina and Blood Flow in Glaucoma
A project to study how pulsation and blood flow in the eye relate to glaucoma, using patient eyes and clinically available imaging tools.
-
Understanding how glaucoma affects daily life and quality of life
This project looks at how different patterns of vision loss from glaucoma influence everyday activities and overall well-being, and aims to translate that into practical guidance for patients and clinicians.
-
Improving nanoparticle delivery for gene editing in the retina
This project develops lipid nanoparticle delivery of temporary gene-editing tools to help people with inherited retinal dystrophies that cause vision loss.
-
How daily rhythms affect brain circuits involved in memory
A human-focused study looking at how daily biological clocks influence memory and brain circuits in adults.
-
Weakening cocaine-linked memories by changing brain 'nets' around key neurons
This project aims to weaken strong cocaine-related memories by altering protective nets around certain brain cells to help people with cocaine use disorder avoid relapse.
-
Cellular and structural changes in childhood nearsightedness
Researchers are linking tiny cell and nerve changes with eye imaging to better understand why children develop worsening nearsightedness.
-
How daily brain cycles affect memory and thinking
This research explores how our body's natural daily rhythms influence memory and thinking, focusing on specific brain cells and their surrounding structures.
-
Investigating how cocaine affects brain memory and behavior
This study is exploring how memories linked to cocaine use can lead to relapse, and it's testing a method in rodents to see if changing certain brain cells can help break those memories, with the hope of finding better ways to support people dealing with cocaine addiction.
-
How daily rhythms affect memory retrieval in the brain
This study looks at how our body's internal clock affects our memory during the day, especially focusing on certain brain cells that help keep our daily rhythms in check, and it's aimed at understanding how problems with this clock might impact memory for people with irregular schedules or age-related changes.
-
Understanding the changes in eye structure and function related to juvenile myopia
This study is looking at how myopia (nearsightedness) affects the eyes of young patients by examining changes in eye cells and nerves, which could help us find better ways to treat this condition.
-
Investigating blood flow changes in glaucoma
This study is looking at how blood flow changes in the eyes of people with glaucoma, which could help us find better ways to catch the disease early and protect your vision.
