TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY HEALTH DISPARITIES BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER - OVER VIEW - CARVER RESEARCH FOUNDATION ANNEX – CENTER FOR GENOMICS AND HEALTH DISPARITY RESEARCH (CGHDR) WE SEEK NIH SUPPORT TO BUILD AN ANNEX TO THE EXISTING HISTORIC CARVER RESEARCH BUILDING TO LOCATE OUR CUTTING-EDGE CANCER GENOMICS RESEARCH, FOCUSING ON TRANSLATIONAL COMPUTATION BIOLOGY RESEARCH. THE NEW ADDITION WILL ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE MANY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS AT TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY PURSUING COMPUTATIONAL AND WET-LAB GENOMICS RESEARCH AND THE MANY RESEARCHERS THAT WE WILL HIRE SOON. THIS ADDITION WILL THUS PROVIDE A MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE CONSISTENT WITH THE SOPHISTICATED REQUIREMENTS OF CURRENT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND THE TRAINING OF A DIVERSE WORKFORCE. HEALTH DISPARITIES ARE A FOCUS AND POINT OF DISTINCTION IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AT TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY, AN INSTITUTION OF EMERGING EXCELLENCE. HEALTH DISPARITIES-RELATED DISEASES ARE THE LEADING CAUSES OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN THE UNITED STATES AND ARE VERY POIGNANTLY EXEMPLIFIED DURING THE CURRENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC. AFRICAN AMERICANS CONTINUE TO SUFFER DISPROPORTIONATELY FROM THESE AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES, INCLUDING OBESITY AND DIABETES – ALL INFLUENCED BY INDIVIDUAL GENETIC PREDISPOSITION AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS, INCLUDING DIET, NUTRITION, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY IS LOCATED IN ALABAMA’S BLACK BELT (A TERM INITIALLY REFERRING TO THE AREA’S BLACK TOPSOIL AND NOW MORE OFTEN ITS PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION). THE CITY OF TUSKEGEE AND THE BLACK BELT ARE AMONG THE POOREST REGIONS IN THE U.S. WE SEEK TO BECOME A GLOBALLY RENOWNED CENTER OF EMERGING EXCELLENCE IN CANCER GENOMICS WITH A FOCUS ON HEALTH DISPARITIES. IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, OUR CANCER RESEARCH EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INCREASINGLY FOCUSED ON GENOMICS, TRANSCRIPTOMICS, COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, AND DIGITAL PATHOLOGY, RESULTING IN NUMEROUS GRANTS AND PUBLICATIONS IN HIGH-IMPACT JOURNALS. HOWEVER, OUR EXISTING LABORATORY INFRASTRUCTURE IN AN AGING BUILDING HAS BECOME DRASTICALLY INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT SUCH MODERN RESEARCH ENDEAVORS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN AWARDED THE PRESTIGIOUS NIH FIRST AWARD IN COLLABORATION WITH UAB, WHICH WILL REQUIRE US TO HIRE 12 NEW TENURE TRACK FACULTY MEMBERS, WITH THREE HOUSED AT TUSKEGEE. THESE NEW FACULTY WILL PUT ADDITIONAL DEMANDS FOR SOPHISTICATED LABORATORY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN OUR CURRENT FACILITIES. THE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER AT TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY IS CURRENTLY HOUSED IN THE HISTORIC CARVER RESEARCH FOUNDATION. IT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE COMPLEMENTARY RESEARCH PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE RESEARCH CENTERS AT MINORITY INSTITUTIONS (RCMI) AND THE MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE/TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY/UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM (UAB) COMPREHENSIVE PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS CANCER HEALTH EQUITY (CPACHE). THE INTEGRATIVE BIOSCIENCES DOCTORAL PROGRAM (IBS) IS UNIQUELY POISED TO EXPLORE THE GENOMIC PROFILE OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WITHIN ALABAMA'S BLACK BELT. COLLECTIVELY, THESE PROGRAMS PROMOTE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH THAT FACILITATES THE TRANSLATION OF BASIC RESEARCH TO INNOVATIVE NEW THERAPEUTICS AND BEHAVIORS TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES WITHIN ALABAMA'S BLACK BELT REGION AND THE SOUTHEAST REGION. THE NEW ANNEX TO THE CARVER RESEARCH BUILDING WILL BE THE FIRST FACILITY ON TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY'S CAMPUS DEVOTED SOLELY TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND GRADUATE EDUCATION. THE CGHDR WILL CONSIST OF APPROXIMATELY 8,000 FT2 OF GREEN/SUSTAINABLE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED SPACE THAT WILL HOUSE WET LAB BENCHES; BIOINFORMATICS/GENOMIC CORE RESEARCH WORK AREAS; OFFICES FOR FACULTY, TRAINEES, GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF SUPPORTING THESE RESEARCHERS; AND CONFERENCE ROOMS. THE COMPLEX WILL INCLUDE AN OPEN LAB FORMAT THAT WILL SUPPORT FIVE NEW LABORATORIES AND THREE CORE LABORATORIES (MICROSCOPY, BIOINFORMATICS, AND GENOMICS/PROTEOMICS/MOLECULAR BIOLOGY). THE RESEARCH BUILDING WILL BE THE FIRST LEED-CERTIFIED BUILDING ON THE TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY

A MOBILE HEALTH FRAMEWORK FOR LEFT VENTRICULAR END DIASTOLIC PRESSURE DIAGNOSTICS AND MONITORING. - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THIS SBIR FAST-TRACK PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A NOVEL MOBILE HEALTH FRAMEWORK FOR LEFT VENTRICULAR END DIASTOLIC PRESSURE DIAGNOSTICS AND MONITORING, USING AN INNOVATIVE, NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC BIOSENSOR. HEART DISEASE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR MEN AND WOMEN ACCOUNTING FOR MORE THAN ONE-THIRD (33.6%) OF ALL U.S. DEATHS. THE TOTAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN THE U.S. WERE ESTIMATED TO BE $363 BILLION, MAKING IT THE COSTLIEST HEALTH PROBLEM FACING THE NATION. IN ADDITION, IT OCCURS DISPROPORTIONATELY AMONG MINORITY AND HEALTH DISPARITY POPULATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, HEART FAILURE RELATED DEATHS ARE 30% HIGHER AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAN AMONG NON-HISPANIC WHITES. LEFT VENTRICULAR END DIASTOLIC PRESSURE (LVEDP) IS A REFLECTION OF VENTRICULAR COMPLIANCE AND INTRAVASCULAR VOLUME AND PRESSURE; IT RELATES BOTH ACUTELY AND CHRONICALLY TO CLINICAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT VENTRICULAR PERFORMANCE. LVEDP IS ELEVATED IN THE SETTING OF HEART FAILURE (HF), AND ITS MEASUREMENT IS USED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HF. OVERALL CARDIAC HEALTH CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED BY PROPER TRIAGE AT THE PRIMARY CARE LEVEL BY DETERMINATION OF THE LVEDP WITHOUT REQUIRING A 2-D ECHO-CARDIOGRAM OR LEFT HEART CATHERIZATION. IT WILL PROVIDE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WITH TECHNOLOGY TO GUIDE DIAGNOSTIC AND FACILITATE EASY HOME-BASED MANAGEMENT BY PATIENTS. USING EVERYDAY SMARTPHONES MAKES IT EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE AND READILY AVAILABLE WITHOUT ADDING HIGH COSTS. AS THE TECHNOLOGY BEING DEVELOPED DOES NOT REQUIRE SKILLED OPERATORS OR SPECIALLY TRAINED PHYSICIANS, IT WILL ALLOW HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO ASSESS LVEDP WITHIN THEIR NORMAL MEDICAL TRAINING. THROUGH THE COURSE OF THIS PROJECT WE WILL VALIDATE THIS REVOLUTIONARY MOBILE HEALTH FRAMEWORK THAT ENABLES MEASUREMENT OF LVEDP USING EVERYDAY SMARTPHONES. THE SCOPE OF THE SCIENCE PROPOSED IN THIS PROJECT IS TO COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIAGNOSTIC FRAMEWORK USING OUR SPECIALLY ENGINEERED SENSOR SYSTEM COMBINED WITH THE NOVEL ALGORITHM TECHNOLOGY TO BE ACCESSED VIA A SMARTPHONE FOR A PORTABLE AND COST- EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. RESOURCE-POOR COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE LACK ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE ARISING FROM SHORTAGES IN MEDICAL EXPERTISE AND POOR AVAILABILITY OF EXPENSIVE MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC DEVICES. IN RECENT YEARS, MOBILE PHONES HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY ADVANCED AND UBIQUITOUS. THE MOBILE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED THROUGH THIS PROJECT IS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE LOW-COST DIAGNOSTICS TO UNDER-SERVED POPULATIONS. THE BENEFIT OF THIS PIONEERING WORK IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EASY-TO-USE SOLUTION THAT CAN MEASURE VENTRICULAR COMPLIANCE, AND THUS ENABLE IMPROVED SCREENING DURING ROUTINE ANNUAL CHECKUPS, DOCTOR VISITS, AT COMMUNITY MEDICAL SCREENINGS, CLASSES, AND HEALTH FAIRS LEADING TO HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES. IT WILL MAKE MEASURING LVEDP AS ROUTINE AS MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE. IN PHASE II, WE WILL CONTINUE VALIDATION OF THE DEVICE THROUGH USER- TRIALS AND SEEK FDA 510(K) CLEARANCE FOR COMMERCIALIZATION. FOLLOWED BY COMMERCIALIZATION IN THE FLORIDA AND NATIONWIDE, BASED ON THE PARTNERSHIPS AND JOINT COLLABORATIONS ESTABLISHED TO HELP CREATE A COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT.

SENSITRAK: AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT OF FORELIMB SENSATION - PROJECT ABSTRACT CURRENT COMMON METHODS FOR MEASURING SOMATOSENSORY FUNCTION IN PRECLINICAL RODENT MODELS GENERALLY RELY ON WITHDRAWAL RESPONSES TO UNCOMFORTABLE OR PAINFUL STIMULI. THESE TESTS CAN BE STRESSFUL TO THE ANIMAL, WHILE ALSO YIELDING A HIGH VARIABILITY IN MEASURED RESPONSES, AND REPETITIVE TESTING IN LONGITUDINAL MODELS MAY EVEN RESULT IN CHRONIC PAIN STATES. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSIOLOGY AND PERCEPTION OF TOUCH AND PROPRIOCEPTION, RESEARCHERS NEED A MODERN, OFF-THE-SHELF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM TO ADMINISTER AND QUANTIFY TRAINED, VOLITIONAL BEHAVIORS. UNDER THIS PHASE II STTR PROJECT, VULINTUS, INC. WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE ‘SENSITRAK,’ AN AUTOMATED, HIGH-THROUGHPUT BEHAVIORAL SYSTEM DESIGNED TO FINELY MEASURE SOMATOSENSORY FUNCTION IN RODENT MODELS. SENSITRAK MEETS THE NEEDS OF SOMATOSENSORY-FOCUSED RESEARCHERS BY SUPPORTING COMPLEX, ELECTROMECHANICAL FEEDBACK INTERACTIONS WITH ANIMALS, WITH INTERCHANGEABLE TASK MODULES, BEHAVIORAL PERIPHERALS, AND OPEN-SOURCE CONTROL SOFTWARE. VULINTUS’ PHASE II ACTIVITIES INCLUDED FINALIZATION AND CERTIFICATION OF A COMMON CONTROLLER AND MODULES FOR ASSESSING TACTILE, VIBRATION, AND PROPRIOCEPTION DISCRIMINATION THRESHOLDS. CONCURRENTLY, SENSITRAK SYSTEMS WILL UNDERGO BETA TESTING AT TWO DIFFERENT LABORATORIES AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND THE WINIFRED MASTERSON BURKE MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE. BETA TESTING WILL HELP ESTABLISH THE RELIABILITY AND UTILITY OF SENSITRAK ASSESSMENTS AND WILL GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOCOLS FOR OTHER LABORATORIES TO FOLLOW WHEN ADOPTING SENSITRAK IN THEIR RESEARCH. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PHASE II, A FULLY DEVELOPED SENSITRAK PRODUCT LINE WILL PROVIDE RESEARCHERS WITH UNPRECEDENTED CAPABILITIES TO RELIABLY MEASURE TACTILE AND PROPRIOCEPTIVE FUNCTION IN EARLY PRECLINICAL ANIMAL MODELS, AND WILL HELP TO IMPROVE THE RATE OF SUCCESSFUL TRANSLATION OF PROMISING THERAPIES FROM PRECLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS TO CLINICAL PRACTICE.
