- 7NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (7)
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.
-
Quantum-Enhanced Computer-Aided Drug Design for Cancer Inhibitors
A project to use advanced quantum methods to improve computer-assisted drug design for cancer, aiming to develop better inhibitors for tubulin.
-
New tubulin-blocking agents for metastatic melanoma
A new class of tiny molecules called fused heterocyclic pyrazines will be studied as potential anti-melanoma drugs, aimed at patients with metastatic melanoma.
-
New anti-mitotic drugs for metastatic melanoma
Developing new medicines that stop cancer cells from dividing to help people with metastatic melanoma, including tumors that resist current chemotherapy.
-
Understanding how neuropeptides are transported and processed in cells
This study is looking at how tiny messengers in the brain, called neuropeptides, move around and work inside cells, using fruit flies to help us see what's happening, and it could lead to new ways to help people with brain disorders like Alzheimer's.
-
Developing new drugs to treat advanced melanoma
This study is working on developing new treatments for metastatic melanoma, a tough type of skin cancer, by creating special compounds that can stop cancer cells from dividing, which could lead to better and safer options for patients.
-
Understanding the role of MYC in a rare type of ovarian cancer
This study is looking at a rare and aggressive type of ovarian cancer called SCCOHT, mainly affecting young women, to understand how certain genetic changes, especially in the SMARCA4 gene, might influence tumor growth and help develop better treatments for patients.
-
Understanding how a yeast infection affects immune cell function
This study is looking at how a type of yeast called Cryptococcus neoformans manages to escape being killed by immune cells in our body, and it aims to find ways to help those immune cells do their job better, especially for people dealing with infections that are hard to treat.
