- 23NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (23)
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.
-
Nursing Staff Scheduling and Quality in Nursing Homes
A national study will look at how how hard nurses are scheduled in nursing homes affects quality of care and how often staff leave.
-
Copper scavenging in fungal pathogens: how fungi grab copper to grow
Researchers will study how fungal pathogens grab copper from their environment to grow, using a model system and lab studies relevant to infection.
-
Understanding how host and microbe genetics plus the environment shape animal-microbe partnerships
A NIH grant will explore how the genetics of an animal and its microbial partners, along with environmental factors, influence how beneficial these partnerships are.
-
Understanding how malaria parasite invasion works at the molecular level
This project looks at how malaria parasites build a specialized attack tool inside their cells to invade human red blood cells and how blocking this process could lead to new therapies.
-
Active-site models to understand how enzymes activate alkanes in the gut
Researchers are building small, detailed models of the nickel-containing active site from methanogenic Archaea found in the human gut to learn how methane-related reactions begin and proceed.
-
Smc5/6 protein sumoylation and DNA repair mechanism in cancer
A study at Texas State University will explore how a specific protein complex helps repair DNA in cancer cells, which could lead to new ways to prevent genome instability.
-
Longitudinal Changes in Prescription Drug Misuse Among Adolescents and Young Adults
A long-term study following adolescents and young adults to understand how and why prescription drug misuse and use of multiple substances change over time.
-
Low-level nitrite in pregnancy and baby development
This research looks at whether low levels of nitrite in drinking water during pregnancy can harm embryos and affect newborn growth and brain development.
-
Advancing the Xiphophorus Fish Model for Studying Disease
A grant to improve a fish model (Xiphophorus) so researchers can study human disease more effectively.
-
How teens and young adults misuse prescription drugs and other substances over time
This work looks at patterns of prescription drug misuse and mixing with other substances in teens and young adults to find who is most at risk.
-
Understanding how fungi take up copper through specific proteins
This study is looking at how a protein from a type of fungus helps it take in copper, which is important for its survival, and it aims to learn more about how different versions of this protein work and where they are found on the fungus's surface.
-
How Fungi That Cause Infections Get Copper
This project looks at how certain fungi, which can cause serious infections in people, gather a vital nutrient called copper to survive and grow.
-
How nitrite exposure during pregnancy affects embryo development
This study looks at how low levels of nitrite, a common pollutant from farming, might affect the growth and development of embryos during pregnancy, helping expectant parents understand the potential risks of nitrite in drinking water.
-
The impact of volunteering on heart health across different ancestry groups
This study looks at how volunteering might help improve heart health, especially for people over 50 from different backgrounds, by checking if it lowers things like blood pressure and inflammation over time.
-
A program to help students from diverse backgrounds pursue doctoral degrees in biomedical fields
The Texas Doctoral Bridge Program is designed to help talented master's students from Texas State University, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, get ready for Ph.D. programs in biomedical fields at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, providing them with support and mentorship
-
Exploring aquatic animal models to understand human diseases
This study is all about a conference where scientists come together to talk about using cool aquatic animals like axolotls to learn more about human diseases, hoping to find new ways to understand and treat these conditions better.
-
Understanding how certain enzymes activate alkanes in the human gut
This study is looking at how certain enzymes in our gut help break down compounds that are important for producing and using methane, which could help us find better ways to support gut health and manage methane-related issues.
-
Using Xiphophorus fish to study human diseases
This study is looking at special fish called Xiphophorus to help scientists learn more about the genetics behind human diseases, which could lead to better treatments for patients like you.
-
A new tool for studying biomolecules using electron paramagnetic resonance.
This study is creating a special tool to help scientists learn more about important molecules in living things, especially those involving metals, and it will be available for students and researchers at Texas State University to use and learn from.
-
Advanced fluorescence microscope for live-cell imaging
This study is all about getting a super cool microscope that helps scientists at Texas State University take really detailed pictures of live cells, like tiny microbes and cancer cells, so they can do better research and teach more than 90 students each year about the latest in science.
-
Understanding how fungi take up copper through special proteins
This study looks at how certain proteins from fungi help them take in copper, which is important for their growth, and it aims to understand how these proteins work so we can learn more about fungal infections and their nutritional needs.
-
Creating genetically modified Xiphophorus fish to study cancer and other diseases
This study is looking at specially modified fish to help us learn more about cancer and other diseases, which could eventually lead to better treatments or ways to prevent conditions like skin cancer for patients.
-
Exploring a genetic regulator of cancer-related EGFR activity in fish
This study is looking at how a certain gene in Xiphophorus fish might help control a protein linked to cancer, with the hope that what we learn could lead to better treatments for people with cancer.
