We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Investigation of a Candidate Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea Sensory Circuit
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chemotherapy-induced nausea negatively impacts quality of life, can alter adherence to chemotherapeutic treatment plans, and is repeatedly ranked as the greatest fear by patients beginning cancer treatment. The goal of this project is to better understand the sensory systems and molecular mechanisms involved in detection of stimuli leading to generation of nausea. We hope to define a molecularly unexplored sensory circuit and its role in modulating organism behavior and physiology. The most efficacious anti-nausea medication class target serotonin receptors preferentially expressed in the sensory component of the vagus nerve. However, the anatomical distribution of innervation by these fibers remains unknown, as does the effect of manipulating this circuitry on behavior. I will use genetic tools including mouse transgenic lines and adenoviral vector gene delivery to specifically map the anatomy and functionally manipulate candidate nausea circuits. Examination of this system will open basic research into a poorly characterized and clinically relevant sensory system, and also provide potential alternative targets for therapeutic intervention of high relevance to many patients.
