NIH-funded research (12)
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.
-
Collaborative Research Resources Core to share and optimize Maine biomedical facilities
A Maine-based program that helps researchers access core lab facilities and exchange equipment to advance biomedical research.
-
Data Science Core for Biomedical Research Collaboration
A Data Science Core is funded to train and support researchers across ME-INBRE institutions in managing and analyzing big biomedical data.
-
Developmental research funding program to support ME-INBRE scientists
Ament of ME-INBRE’s Developmental Research Project Program provides pilot and collaborative projects to fund innovative biomedical research led by ME-INBRE faculty and students.
-
Maine Biomedical Research Network expands hands-on science across colleges
A statewide network helps colleges in Maine collaborate on biomedical research and give students real lab experience.

Investigating the long-term effects of early arsenic exposure on mental health
This study is looking at how being exposed to small amounts of arsenic in things like well water and food when we're young might lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety later on, using zebrafish to help us understand how this happens in our brains.
-
Understanding how germ cell processes maintain cell potential in C. elegans
This study is looking at tiny structures in certain cells of the worm C. elegans to understand how they help keep those cells flexible and able to change into different types, which could help in finding new treatments for various conditions.
-
Training in bioinformatics for analyzing large biological datasets
This study is creating a two-week program to help future biomedical researchers learn how to work with large data sets in a hands-on way, making sure they can find and use data easily, so they can become better at their jobs.
-
Advanced 3D imaging techniques for biological research
This study is all about helping scientists see tiny details in living tissues and organisms using special light technology, so they can better understand how cells work and share that knowledge with others.
-
Understanding how genetics and data science can improve knowledge of aging and regeneration
This study is looking at how our genes change as we age and heal, to help scientists find new ways to treat age-related health issues, which could ultimately benefit patients like you.
-
Exploring how different animals regenerate tissues to improve human health.
This study is exploring how certain animals, like axolotls and tiny worms, can heal and regrow their tissues so we can learn how to help people heal better and live healthier for longer.
-
Building research infrastructure for aging and regeneration studies
This study is all about helping new scientists at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory explore ways to understand aging and healing better, which could eventually lead to new treatments for age-related health issues that might benefit patients like you.
-
Understanding how different animals regenerate tissues and age
This study is looking at how different animals can heal and regrow their organs better than humans, with the goal of finding new ways to help people recover from injuries and age-related health issues.
