NIH-funded research (13)
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.
-
How changes in LINE‑1 'jumping' DNA affect human health
This work looks at how different versions of LINE‑1 mobile DNA might copy themselves more or less and create mutations that could affect human health.
-
Improving newborn genome screening to find urea cycle disorders
This project improves how newborn genome sequencing finds urea cycle disorders in babies by making genetic variant results easier to interpret.
-
Understanding hidden structural variants that drive rare genetic diseases and cancer
This grant studies hidden DNA changes that can cause rare diseases and cancer, aiming to uncover how these variants form and affect patients.
-
How bodies block leukemia cells from taking hold
Scientists are using a naturally contagious clam cancer to learn how some hosts stop leukemia cells from settling and growing, with the aim of helping people with acute myeloid leukemia.
-
Understanding how DNA changes lead to genetic disorders and childhood cancers
This research explores how certain repetitive DNA segments contribute to genetic changes that cause conditions like birth defects and childhood cancers.
-
Understanding how 'jumping genes' in our DNA affect human health
This research explores how certain 'jumping genes' in human DNA, called L1 retrotransposons, change and move, and how these changes might lead to diseases like autoimmune conditions and cancers.
-
Understanding how genetic variations in human L1 retrotransposons affect health
This study is looking at how certain pieces of DNA, called L1 retrotransposons, can change and affect our health, especially in relation to autoimmune diseases and cancers, to help us understand how they might escape the body's defenses.
-
Improving detection of urea cycle disorders in newborns using genome sequencing
This study is working on improving how we find certain genetic disorders in newborns that can affect their health, using new technology to better understand their genes, so that babies can get the right care as soon as possible.
-
Finding ways to stop cancer cells from spreading in acute myeloid leukemia.
This study is looking at how certain genes and their surroundings can help stop the growth of cancer cells in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), using a special model from bivalves, to find new ways to treat this condition.
-
Understanding how certain DNA repeats affect genetic disorders and gene expression
This study is looking at how certain repeated sections of DNA can cause problems in genes, especially in children with developmental issues, to help us understand the genetic changes that might lead to various health conditions.
-
Understanding how genetic variations in human L1 retrotransposons affect health.
This study is looking at how certain pieces of DNA, called L1 retrotransposons, can change and move around in our genes, and how this might affect our health and the stability of our DNA, which could help people understand genetic diseases better.
-
Investigating how genetic inversions in the human genome relate to diseases.
This study is looking at how certain changes in our genes might be linked to birth defects and cancers, and it aims to help people with these conditions better understand what might be happening in their bodies.
-
Exploring how retroviruses can enhance the immune system's ability to fight infections
This study is looking at how certain immune genes, which come from retroviruses, can help our bodies fight off viral infections better, and it's for anyone interested in understanding why some people get sick more easily than others.
