Rutgers Rakes in $58M of NIMH, NIDDK Funding for 'Omics Studies No Coverage that Autism, schizophrenia, biopolar diabetes increase with paternal age

sometimes maternal age is also a cause according to the plethora of studies. Rutgers is the recipient, but the public looses. All one needs to do to have healthier babies is know your own genetic history and have your children in your 20s and very, very early 30s to prevent these disorders. This includes kidney diseases which increase in offspring of older fathers too.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Rutgers University has reeled in nearly $58 million from the National Institutes of Health to fund two research programs to conduct genomics studies of mental disorders and of metabolic and digestive diseases, the university said today.

Rutgers said it will use a $42.4 million five-year grant, and a supplemental award of $1.2 million, to create a Center for Genomic Studies on Mental Disorders at the university. The funding for the genomics center will support maintenance of a comprehensive lab, clinical databases, and computational infrastructure to fund national and international research focused on autism, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.

That grant also includes subcontracts to the Washington University School of Medicine to establish clinical and genetic databases, and to the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California, which will study computational technology.
Rutgers also will use a five-year, $14 million contract from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to fund services and infrastructure costs for a cellular and molecular biology lab used for studying digestive, liver, and kidney diseases, and diabetes.
