- 25NIH research projects
NIH-funded research (25)
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 bacteria defend against spreading resistance and their attacking phages
Scientists are studying how bacteria block the spread of antibiotic resistance through plasmids and how they defend against the phages that target these plasmids.
-
Radiochemical, Microbiological and Chemical Testing for Food Defense
A public health lab-led effort to strengthen and advance testing methods for detecting radiochemical, microbiological, and chemical threats to the food supply for national defense and emergency response.
-
NARMS program to strengthen antibiotic resistance tracking in food samples
A federal-aided effort to improve detection and sharing of antibiotic resistance data in bacteria from foods bought at grocery stores, to help keep New Yorkers safer.
-
Alternative ribosomes and antibiotic tolerance in mycobacteria
A study in bacteria that cause tuberculosis looks at how changes in ribosomes when zinc levels vary affect how these bacteria resist certain antibiotics.
-
Detecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria in store-bought meat and seafood
This project looks for antibiotic-resistant Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterococcus, Aeromonas, and Vibrio in retail meats and seafood to help protect people who buy and eat these foods.
-
Polymer-based substrates to enable correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) for cells on porous surfaces
Aiming to create a user-friendly polymer substrate and methods so researchers can reliably link light microscopy observations with electron microscopy data for cells grown on permeable, 3D substrates.
-
Therapeutic potential of a bacteriophage enzyme against Mycobacterium abscessus infections
A new therapy using a phage-derived enzyme (LysB) is being tested to help treat tough Mab lung infections in people who have other health problems.
-
Advanced Lab Support for Kidney Disease Research
This resource provides specialized lab testing to help understand how environmental factors might contribute to chronic kidney disease in farming communities.
-
How temperature changes mosquito–virus interactions
This work looks at how warmer temperatures change how mosquitoes and viruses like West Nile interact, which can affect people who live in or visit areas with mosquito-borne infections.
-
How Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria communicate to form biofilms and cause infections
This project looks at how Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria use chemical signals to coordinate biofilm formation and infection risk for people with chronic or hospital-acquired infections.
-
How tuberculosis bacteria change their ribosomes to resist antibiotics
This work looks at how TB bacteria alter their protein-making machinery so they can survive common antibiotics used to treat people with tuberculosis.
-
Understanding how mycobacteria recognize each other
This study looks at how certain bacteria, like those that can cause infections, share genes with each other in a special way, and it focuses on a gene that helps them recognize their own kind to avoid mixing with similar bacteria; understanding this could lead to better treatments for infections.
-
Understanding how bacteria communicate to form biofilms and affect virulence
This study looks at how a common bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa talks to itself to work together and cause infections, and by understanding this communication, we hope to find new ways to stop these bacteria from causing harm.
-
Exploring the complexity of bacterial genomes
This study is exploring how bacteria use their genes in surprising ways, which could help us understand them better and improve treatments for bacterial infections.
-
How temperature affects the spread of viruses by mosquitoes
This study looks at how warmer weather affects the way mosquitoes spread the West Nile virus, helping us understand how temperature changes can influence the virus's growth and transmission among mosquitoes.
-
Improving detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food products
This study is all about finding and tracking harmful bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter in food, so we can keep you and your family safe from foodborne illnesses.
-
Understanding how certain proteins help Mycobacterium abscessus resist antibiotics
This study is looking into how a tough germ called Mycobacterium abscessus manages to resist antibiotics, which could help doctors find better ways to treat infections caused by it.
-
Understanding how RNA regulates gene expression in tuberculosis bacteria
This study is looking at how the tuberculosis bacteria changes its behavior during infection, focusing on certain molecules that help control its genes, with the hope that understanding these changes can lead to better treatments for people with tuberculosis.
-
Developing advanced testing for food safety and defense
This study is working on a new way to keep our food safe by using advanced lab tests to quickly find harmful substances, helping the FDA protect everyone from food safety issues.
-
Understanding how primary cilia maintain their structure and function
This study is looking at how tiny transport trains inside cells help build and keep healthy primary cilia, which are important for sensing signals that control cell growth, and it aims to find out more about conditions related to cilia problems, so patients with these issues can get better insights into their health.
-
New methods to test for antibodies against COVID-19 using dried blood samples
This study is looking at new ways to test large groups of people for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus, using a special method that checks both how many antibodies you have and how well they work, so we can better understand how the community has been affected by the virus and improve our response to outbreaks.
-
Creating new materials for advanced cell imaging techniques
This study is working on creating special materials that help scientists better see and understand cells and tissues under a microscope, making it easier to track how they work and look in their natural state.
-
Understanding how mycobacteria communicate and respond to their environment
This study is looking at how certain bacteria, like those that cause tuberculosis, communicate and adapt to their surroundings using a special system, which could help us find new ways to treat these infections.
-
New methods to test for antibodies against COVID-19 using dried blood samples.
This study is looking at new ways to check large groups of people for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus, using a special test on dried blood spots to see how well people have responded to infections and vaccinations, which will help us understand how the virus spreads in the community and prepare for future outbreaks.
-
Exploring small proteins in Mycobacteria
This study is exploring tiny proteins in Mycobacteria that are usually ignored, hoping to uncover their roles in health and disease, which could eventually help develop new treatments for patients.
