BLRD Research Career Scientist Award Application
type: Grant
alternate name: 5IK6BX005692-02
description: The overall goal of this Research Career Scientist award is to foster the nominee’s ongoing research program that is focused on the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their extracellular RNA (exRNA) cargo as biomarkers and effectors of human health and disease including among Veterans. Through participation in a national NIH-funded consortium research program, the nominee is working to develop novel methods to study EVs and other carriers of exRNA for biomarker development projects. The nominee also recently reported the first evidence of intercellular signaling between macrophage EVs and hematopoietic progenitor cells to control the process of systemic and vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease. Ongoing funding from a VA Merit grant is supporting the nominee’s goal of exploring the role of circulating EVs isolated from Veterans treated for advanced vascular disease as biomarkers and contributors to disease progression including via microRNA cargo.
