Award for developing genetically modified nonhuman primate models to study autism spectrum disorder using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, funded by NIH/NIMH with $535,238 for fiscal year 2025.
Description
This project aims to develop a nonhuman primate model for autism spectrum disorder through genetic modification of the CHD8 gene. It involves gene editing, embryo production, behavioral analysis, and infrastructure development for transnational biomedical research. The award is funded by the NIH/NIMH with a total amount of $535,238 for the fiscal year 2025. The project duration is from February 15, 2020, to December 31, 2026, and involves collaboration with UC Davis and associated research centers.
