Autophagy (the process by which cells break down and recycle their own parts), inflammation and metabolism are closely linked processes that matter for both normal biology and disease. Studying them often requires advanced imaging and specialized technical know-how.

- Grants
- 1 known grant, through Aug 2027
What they work on
- Provide high-content microscopy, an imaging method that measures many cells at once, together with technical expertise so that mentored early-career investigators can study autophagy, metabolism and inflammation and become independent.
- Expand the AIM Center's user base through expert service, training, collaboration and sharing of new technologies, building a critical mass of researchers working on autophagy, inflammation and metabolism.
- Build long-term sustainability for the core through a fee structure and outreach to new users within the institution, across New Mexico and in the surrounding region.
More about the research
This grant funds the Scientific Core of the Autophagy, Inflammation, and Metabolism (AIM) Center at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. It is a shared research facility rather than a single research project.
Why it matters
By giving researchers in New Mexico and the surrounding region access to advanced microscopy and expert support, the core helps studies of autophagy, inflammation and metabolism, including disease-related studies, move forward. It also helps early-career scientists build independent research programs in these areas.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
