Research

Overview

  • NIH P01 DK57751 (PI: M.H. Nathanson) 04/01/01-04/30/21 Title: Regulation of liver by nuclear calcium signaling Goals: The major goals of this project are to determine the mechanisms by which calcium is regulated in the nucleus of hepatocytes, and to determine the functional effects of nuclear calcium signals in liver. Dr. Nathanson directs Project 1 and the Administrative and Cell Imaging cores of this PPG.
  • NIH P30 DK34989 (PI: M.H. Nathanson) 09/01/84-08/31/20 (NCE pending) Title: Digestive Diseases Research Core Center (Yale Liver Center) Goals: Dr. Nathanson is Director of the Liver Center as well as of the Morphology and Administrative Core components of the Center. The major goals of the Morphology Core are to provide a multidisciplinary center where the research focus is liver structure, function and disease.
  • NIH R01 DK114041 (PI: M.H. Nathanson) 02/01/18-03/31/23 Title: Ca2+ waves in hepatocytes: Mechanisms and effects Goals: The major goals of this project are to determine the mechanisms by which the type 2 InsP3 receptor regulates calcium-mediated bile secretion by hepatocytes, and to determine the role that loss or mis-localization of this receptor plays in the pathogenesis of cholestatic liver disease.
  • NIH R01 DK112797 (PI: M.H. Nathanson) 09/01/17-08/31/22 Title: Molecular regulation of cholestasis in cholangiocytes. Goals: Major goals are to understand the role of type 3 inositol trisphosphate receptor function in cholestatic liver disease
  • NIH T32 DK007356 (PI: M.H. Nathanson) 7/1/84-6/30/24 Title: Investigative Training in Hepatology. Goals: This training grant provides 1) laboratory research training for physicians who have completed clinical training in Gastroenterology and are in preparation for careers as independent investigators in academic Hepatology and research training for recent Ph.D. graduates to prepare them for careers as independent investigators in basic liver-related research.
