Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH THROUGH INNOVATIVE GENETIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. RESEARCH AT THE INSTITUTE FOCUSES ON UNDERSTANDING THE GENETIC CONTROL OF NORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES USING THE MOUSE AS THE MODEL SYSTEM. THE INSTITUTE ALSO OFFERS RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH THROUGH INNOVATIVE GENETIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.

  • DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023, THE INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS AND STAFF CONTINUED THEIR EFFORTS TO BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE PROCESSES THROUGH INNOVATIVE GENETIC APPROACHES IN MURINE MODELS WHILE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM OF TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH TO SUPPLEMENT TREATMENT ADVANCES AND EDUCATION THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENT INTERNSHIPS. WITH CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THE PREVIOUS YEAR, THE INSTITUTE WAS ABLE TO HIRE TWO ADDITIONAL SCIENTISTS. EXPANDED SCIENTIFIC EMPLOYMENT LED TO EXPANDED RESEARCH TO INCLUDE SUBJECTS OF HUMAN PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS, MACULAR DEGENERATION, NEUTROPHILS IN AGE RELATED DISEASES, AND NOVEL ASSAY OPTIMIZATION FOR THE IMPROVED DIAGNOSTICS OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES. FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE EMPHASIS OF GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY; CELLULAR MECHANISM COMPONENTS OF PROTEIN MISFOLDING PROPAGATION; IDENTIFICATION OF BIOMARKERS; THE ROLE OF MICROBIOME AND INFLAMMATION; AND CELLULAR SENESCENCE IN DISEASES SUCH AS FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA, ALZHEIMER'S AND PRION DISEASES, AS WELL AS NOVEL TREATMENT APPROACHES. SUCH WORK INCLUDED PARTNERSHIPS WITH UP TO TEN COLLABORATORS AND 24 PROJECTS AMONG INVESTIGATORS WITH PARTNERSHIPS EXTENDING NATIONALLY TO NEW YORK, MASSACHUSETTS, NORTH CAROLINA, WASHINGTON STATE AND CALIFORNIA WHICH RESULTANT SUBAWARDS CONTRIBUTED TO $413,000 OF NIH GRANT FUND SUPPORT AND $430,000 IN RESEARCH CONTRACTS. EFFORTS CONTINUED TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE IN COLLABORATION WITH INVESTIGATORS FROM WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY AND THE CURE HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE FOUNDATION; ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE WITH PARTNERS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY; AS WELL AS MAKING STRIDES ON INVESTIGATOR LED STUDIES AND FUTURE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. INVESTIGATORS CONTINUED CRITICAL WORK WITH NEW TREATMENT DEVELOPMENT SCREENING THROUGH ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND WELCOMED NEW COLLABORATIONS WITH CUREDRPLA AND N-LOREM. THE INSTITUTE CONTINUED THE EFFORTS OF THE NIH FUNDED GRANT (AWARDED MARCH 2018) IN THE AMOUNT OF $405,000/YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS DIRECTED TOWARDS BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES WITH THE FINAL YEAR IN COMPLETED ON A NO COST EXTENSION. NIH AWARD OF $360,306 WAS RECEIVED FOR DISSECTION OF THE TRANSCRIPTIONAL NETWORKS OF HUMAN PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS AND $292,000 FOR AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION RESEARCH. THE INSTITUTE RECEIVED $457,000 IN CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WAS USED TO SUPPORT INVESTMENTS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
