Award for research on peptide nucleic acid oligomers to target biomolecular condensates in ALS/FTD, led by Carnegie Mellon University, funded by NIH with an amount of approximately $232,953.
Description
The project focuses on developing peptide nucleic acid (PNA) tools to manipulate and monitor biomolecular condensates in diseases such as ALS and FTD. The research involves creating RNA-targeting probes that can be used for visualization and disruption of specific RNAs involved in disease pathology. The project is funded by NIH, under RFA-DA-24-039. The project is led by Dr. Bruce A. Armitage at Carnegie Mellon University.
