The impact of Alzheimer's disease on novel genetic signatures of hippocampal memory traces
PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Memory loss is a devastating symptom of age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Memories are thought to be stored in th...
Portable, low-cost cryotherapy system that does not require consumable cryogen gas for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions
Abstract Cervical cancer deaths have dramatically fallen in high-income countries, but cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in low- and middle-income...
Understanding the Genetic Contributions to Variation in Ozone Exposure Response
PROJECT SUMMARY Ozone is a common ambient air pollutant that presents a significant public health hazard as a trigger for lung function decrements, airway inflammation, and exacerb...
Evaluating Cascading Effects of Caregiver Stress on Later Language Outcomes of Infants
PROJECT SUMMARY Understanding individual differences in language comprehension and use in autism is a top priority of autism research, as acquisition of language early in life is c...
Collaborative Research: The Synthesis of Polymer Ionophores and Fabrication of Potentiometric Sensors for Carbonate Ion Detection in the Ocean
The uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the ocean has slowed down CO2 increase in the atmosphere and thus our planet’s warming potential. However, this CO2 uptake decreases ocean pH and...
Excellence in Research - Modified MSC-Derived Exosomes for Reprogramming Macrophage
Large bone injuries can happen because of accidents, infections, weak bones, or surgeries to remove tumors. These problems affect many people and are hard for doctors to treat. One...
The Contribution of Repetitive Head Impacts and Social Determinants of Health to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia in Older Adult Black Men
ABSTRACT. Black Americans face nearly double the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related compared to Whites. Black American men may be at increased risk for late-life neurolog...
An EYE toward healthy aging in HIV: building evidence for multimorbidity screening and prevention
PROJECT SUMMARY Multimorbidity, the coexistence of two or more chronic conditions in the same individual, is an emergent global threat to individual and public health as population...
Identification and characterization of molecular subtypes of Alzheimer's disease associated with cognitive function through cross-omics data integration
Project Summary/Abstract The goal of this mentored career development award is to provide a robust course of training in the biology of neurodegeneration and aging for Dr. Eteleeb,...

Enabling Older Adults to 'LiveWell' with Advanced Heart Failure: Development of a Palliative Rehabilitation Model
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Americans aged 65-years and older account for 70% of heart failure (HF)-related hospitalizations each year, and many in this population are burdened by mul...
UROL:ASC: AI-Supported Bionic Bivalves for Surface Water Monitoring based on Freshwater Mussel Response to Environmental Change
For over fifty years, biologists have explored using the response of bivalves to water pollution to benefit from them as sentinel organisms. Initial efforts used simple sensors to...
Multimodal omics approach to identify health to cardiometabolic disease transitions
Abstract: The global obesity epidemic drives the high prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders (CMDs), including type 2 diabetes (T2D), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)...
Equipment: MRI: Track 1 Acquisition of a multi-modal x-ray diffraction and scattering instrument
The ability to describe the structure of a material – from the arrangement of atoms to the roughness of a surface – is foundational to the field of materials science and engineerin...
Collaborative Research: Design Decisions under Competition at the Edge of Bounded Rationality: Quantification, Models, and Experiments
The objective of this project is to investigate the impact of information uncertainty on design rationality under competition among teams and to develop a competition-aware artific...
