NIH grant awarded to study miR-92a as a biomarker for diabetic retinopathy, involving RNA signature analysis and validation in human and rodent models.
Description
This is a NIH grant project focused on identifying RNA biomarkers for diabetic retinopathy, with a central hypothesis that RNA signatures in circulating angiogenic cells mirror DR severity, and miR-92a decrease serves as a candidate biomarker. The project involves sequencing, modeling, and validation in human and rodent models.
