Does daily lean beef support brain health in older adults
In healthy adults aged 65 and up, this study tests whether eating lean beef every day for two weeks can influence brain health markers compared with a non-beef, protein-matched option.
NIH-funded research (24)
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.
-
Identifying protective mechanisms to lower artery cholesterol
A study to find ways to boost cholesterol removal from artery walls to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
-
Growth and survival of Listeria in pet foods
This grant studies how the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes grows and survives in different types of pet foods to understand risks to pets and people.
-
Antibiotic resistance monitoring of meat and seafood sold in South Dakota and North Dakota
This project tests how common antibiotic-resistant bacteria are in store-bought meat and seafood from SD and ND to help protect public health.
-
WGS-based pathogen profiling to combat antimicrobial resistance in veterinary settings
This grant supports using whole genome sequencing at a veterinary lab to help track and reduce antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from animals.
-
Interactive, reproducible enrichment-analysis tool for cancer-related genes
A user-friendly, web-based tool helps researchers understand how gene changes relate to cancer biology in a clear, interactive way.
-
How tiny cellular antennae (primary cilia) control lymphatic vessel growth
Researchers are looking at how tiny cellular antennae called primary cilia control lymphatic vessel growth to help people with lymphedema, transplant complications, or cancer-related swelling.
-
How two immune proteins (SHP1 and SYK) control macrophage 'cell drinking' and inflammation
Looking at whether shifting the balance between two proteins in immune cells changes how they 'drink' and clear material, which could affect inflammation in autoimmune diseases.
-
Macropinosome biology in immune cells and cancer cells
This research looks at how immune cells like macrophages form and move large internal compartments to help immune responses and cancer cell growth.
-
Testing for antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens
This study is looking at the genes of harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli that can make animals sick, to find out how they resist antibiotics and help improve treatments for better animal health.
-
Understanding how infections affect cell survival and death.
This study is looking at how our cells decide to either fight off infections or give up and die, focusing on specific proteins that play a big role in this process, which could help us find better treatments for infections in the future.
-
Understanding how primary cilia affect the growth of lymphatic vessels
This study is looking at how tiny structures called primary cilia help form and control lymphatic vessels, which are important for keeping our body's fluids balanced and supporting our immune system, with the goal of finding new treatments for conditions like lymphedema and issues after corneal transplants.
-
How macrophages manage cell drinking and inflammation
This study is looking at how certain immune cells called macrophages take in and process materials from their surroundings, which is important for understanding and improving treatments for autoimmune diseases and inflammation.
-
Using CRISPR technology for advanced imaging of cells
This study is using a special tool called CRISPR to change genes in cells to help scientists learn more about how immune and inflammatory cells work, and it’s designed for researchers who want to better understand these important processes in our bodies.
-
Analyzing gene activity and networks in inflammation
This study is looking at how our genes behave during inflammation to help find better treatments for people with inflammatory conditions.
-
Building a supportive research environment for investigating inflammation
This study is all about building a strong support system for researchers studying inflammation at South Dakota State University and nearby partners, helping them work together better and grow in their careers through workshops and resources.
-
Understanding inflammation and its effects on health
This study is looking at how inflammation works in the body, especially how certain immune cells talk to each other, and it aims to find new ways to help people with inflammatory conditions feel better.
-
How daily stress affects inflammation in older adults
This study looks at how everyday stress affects inflammation in older adults, helping us understand how stress and emotions can impact health, and it will also see if there are differences between men and women in these effects.
-
Testing for antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens
This study is looking at bacteria from animals to learn more about how they resist antibiotics, so we can create better tests and treatments for infections like Salmonella and E. coli in pets and livestock.
-
Investigating antibiotic resistance in meat and seafood from grocery stores in South Dakota and North Dakota.
This study is looking at how common antibiotic-resistant bacteria are in meat and seafood sold in grocery stores in South Dakota and North Dakota, so we can better understand food safety and keep everyone healthy.
-
Improving food safety to prevent illnesses from contaminated food
This study is working to make our food safer by finding and fixing problems in how food is handled, so everyone can enjoy healthier meals and have fewer chances of getting sick from food.
-
A tool to help analyze gene and protein data
This study is creating a friendly online tool called ShinyGO that helps researchers easily understand and visualize complex gene and protein data, making it simpler for anyone, even those without a tech background, to see how genes are connected to biological processes in over 14,000 different organisms.
-
How immune cells help antibodies kill cancer and infected cells
This study is looking at how certain immune cells called macrophages can help make antibody treatments better for people with autoimmune diseases and cancer, so we can understand why some patients do well with these treatments while others don’t.
-
A tool to analyze RNA sequencing data for biological insights
This study is developing an easy-to-use online tool that helps biologists, especially those at smaller labs, understand and analyze RNA sequencing data so they can turn complex information into useful insights about genes and biology.
-
Local therapy using curcumin for treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This study is looking at a new way to help people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) by using curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory, directly where it's needed in the colon, which could make it work better and have fewer side effects than regular medications.
Quick answers
How many clinical trials run by South Dakota State University are recruiting right now?
1, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
All of them have sites in United States. Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
