Dr. Anthony Rosenzweig to lead AHA-funded consortium on inflammation's role in aging, obesity-linked diseases | |
|
The American Heart Association (AHA) has awarded $15 million over four years to support collaborative research by Michigan Medicine (MM), Northwestern University, and the University of Pittsburgh, focusing on understanding inflammation's role in aging and obesity-related diseases like heart failure and dementia. Led by Dr. Anthony Rosenzweig, teams from Michigan Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Oakland University, will utilize the grant to investigate cell senescence, targeting metabolism and inflammation pathways to reduce inflammation and improve cardiac health.

Dr. Santhi Ganesh secures OVPR funding for pioneering genetics and vascular health research | | |
|
|
Santhi Ganesh, M.D., has been awarded a portion of a $700,000 grant through the U-M Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR)'s Bold Challenges Accelerate initiative, aimed at fostering collaboration between technical and social science researchers to address societal challenges.
The funding will support Dr. Ganesh’s project, titled "Genetic applications to improve vascular health." It will cover expenses such as support and technical writer salaries, equipment purchases, and preliminary data collection.
Projects that received funding in this round of grants included diverse subjects including investigations into the contemporary and future applications of robotics in architecture and construction, animal modeling of sepsis-related organ failure, and strategies for fostering cohesion in academic research.
