Grant control number: 14112609 — Biswal (PI) — 04/01/2015-07-31/2017
Title: Testing zeaxanthin in a mouse model of geographic atrophy.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether zeaxanthin supplementation prevent oxidative damage in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in vivo.

Bright focus foundation grant
Grant control number: N/A Lewin (PI) — Biswal (Co-PI ) — 07/01/2015-07/30/2017
Title: A Novel Antioxidant Therapy For Retinal Degeneration
The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that AI-3 (an electrophilic antioxidant compound) an approach will stimulate endogenous antioxidant genes to protect RPE cells from mitochondrial oxidative stress in vivo.

Pre-doctoral fellowship grant from American Heart Association
Grant control number: 0815022E — Biswal (PI) — 07/01/2008-06/30/2010
Title: Reversal of oxidative damage in an in-vitro model of stroke.
The goal of the project was to develop and characterize hypoxia-regulated promoters for inducing neuronal and glial cell specific gene expression and prevent cell damage in response to hypoxia induced oxidative stress.
