NGI pilot leads to a large NIH-funding to study endolysosomal diseases
The NGI Center funded a pilot project to Drs. Dickson, Cooper and Sardiello to Monitoring Lysosomal Content and Signaling in Lysosomal Storage Disorders. This funding led to a larger collaborative NIH funding for more than $8 million. This collaborative effort, which combines the areas of pediatrics, genetics, bioinformatics, and psychiatry will lead scientists to understand […]

2023 Pilot Grant
The Neurogenomics and Informatics (NGI) Center (https://neurogenomics.wustl.edu/) is requesting proposals for a new pilot grant program. The vision of the NGI is to transform the field of human neurogenomics by going beyond the analysis of genomic DNA to explore other omics layers, including epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Molecular phenotyping of human samples is instrumental […]
