(See also Grant # 40)
PROJECT INVESTIGATOR: Multiple

PERIOD: 4/1/2006 - 3/31/2007

PROJECT DESCRIPTION   Final STATUS REPORT
Dated 3/31/2007
Funding research into issues critical to all (or to large groups of) Lysosomal Storage Diseases rather than having each group separately raise funds to investigate these problems. NIH is assisting the LSDRC to find suitable projects and, in some cases, funding projects of its own in this area.   The NIH again called for proposals that target novel ways of conquering the blood-brain barrier in Lysosomal Storage disorders. Three further research projects were funded by the LSDRC in 2007

Dr. Eain Cornford, Brentwood Biomedical Research Institute “Trojan Horse Gene Therapy of Inclusion Body Disease”

Dr. Xiaoyang Qi, Children’s Hospital Medical Center “The Physiological Importance of Saposin C’s Fusogenicity”

Dr. Matthew Ellinwood, Iowa State University “Pathogenesis of murine MPS IIIB”
