FILADELFIA, 27 de septiembre de 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pew Charitable Trusts anunció hoy a los seis pares de investigadores que estudiarán preguntas innovadoras sobre biología y enfermedades como parte de la clase 2022 de investigadores del Innovation Fund.

Los científicos, exalumnos de los programas en Biomedicina de Pew en los Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica, buscarán promover el descubrimiento científico y mejorar la salud de los seres humanos, a partir de su experiencia en temas que van desde la biología molecular y la neurociencia hasta la genética y la bioquímica.

"La colaboración y la creatividad son el motor de toda innovación científica", afirmó Molly Irwin, vicepresidenta de Investigación y Ciencia en Pew. "Juntos, estos investigadores trabajan para comprender algunos de los más grandes misterios de la salud y la medicina, y Pew se enorgullece de brindarles su apoyo". 

Durante más de 35 años, Pew ha fomentado la colaboración entre su comunidad diversa de científicos biomédicos, lo que llevó al lanzamiento del Innovation Fund en 2017. El financiamiento, que cuenta con el apoyo del Kathryn W. Davis Peace by Pieces Fund, tiene el objetivo de promover asociaciones creativas e interdisciplinarias entre los exalumnos de los programas para becarios latinoamericanos y los programas para académicos en Biomedicina de Pew, y todos aquellos que ocupen cargos de investigador titular o una categoría superior pueden postularse.

A continuación, se enumeran los equipos y los proyectos de investigación del Innovation Fund de este año:

  • P. Todd Stukenberg, Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2001, Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Virginia
  • Hui Zong, Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2008, Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Virginia

Stukenberg y Zong desarrollarán un nuevo modelo de ratón que represente mejor la manera en que se desarrollan los tipos de cáncer en los seres humanos.

  • Sarah A. Woodson, Ph.D., académica en Biomedicina de Pew del año 1993, Universidad Johns Hopkins
  • Christian M. Kaiser, Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2015, Universidad Johns Hopkins

Woodson y Kaiser estudiarán la manera en que los ARN repetidos y sus complejos de interacción con proteínas generan neurotoxicidad y neurodegeneración.

  • David G. Mendoza-Cózatl, Ph.D., becario latinoamericano de Pew de la clase 2006, Universidad de Misuri
  • Clarissa J. Nobile, Ph.D., académica en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2015, Universidad de California (Merced)

Mendoza-Cózatl y Nobile estudiarán de qué manera las plantas y los microbios interactúan en el contexto de la absorción y la utilización del hierro.

  • Susana Castro-Obregón, Ph.D., becaria latinoamericana de Pew de la clase 1998, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
  • Iván Velasco, Ph.D., becario latinoamericano de Pew de la clase 2000, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Castro-Obregón y Velasco explorarán los mecanismos protectores antienvejecimiento de los ratopines y los axolotes mexicanos.

  • Rajat Rohatgi, M.D., Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2010, Universidad de Stanford
  • Ethan Lee, M.D., Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2004, Universidad de Vanderbilt

Rohatgi y Lee investigarán la regulación de la proteína APC y sus proteínas interactuantes en el cáncer colorrectal.

  • Mikhail G. Shapiro, Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2016, Instituto de Tecnología de California
  • Michael M. Halassa, M.D., Ph.D., académico en Biomedicina de Pew del año 2017, Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts

Shapiro y Halassa explorarán la conexión entre dos áreas del cerebro (la corteza prefrontal y el tálamo mediodorsal) en la modulación de la toma de decisiones en pacientes con esquizofrenia.

The Pew Charitable Trusts se vale del poder del conocimiento para resolver los problemas más desafiantes de la actualidad. Obtenga más información en pewtrusts.org.
