# A novel product for tendinopathy treatment

> **NIH NIH R44** · NEW YORK/R&D/CTR/TRANSLATIONAL MED/THER · 2021 · $20,300

## Abstract

Project Summary
Tendinopathy is a tendon disorder characterized by tendon deterioration that often leads to tendon rupture, and
is associated with pain, swelling and impaired performance. There is currently no cure for tendinopathy.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective treatments for tendinopathy. The parent award is focused on
testing the TenoGen, the product to be developed, exerts a therapeutic effect in mitigating tendinopathy
pathology and relieving tendinopathy-related pain and symptoms with no or minimal adverse effects. The
purpose of this supplement project is to provide support for an underrepresented researcher to participate and
contribute to the R&D of TenoGen within the scope of the parent study. The supplement study will focus on
establishing the transcriptome profile of TenoGen treatment using state-of-the-art transcriptomic RNA
sequencing (RNA-seq) and bioinformatics technologies. Successful completion of the proposed supplement
project is expected to not only provide additional data to accelerate for the R&D and commercialization of
TenoGen, but also provide valuable support and an unique opportunity for the candidate’s career development.
