The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. a $299,072 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support comparative single cell transcriptomics and regulomics research from June 2023 to May 2025. Specifically, the foundation will utilize cutting-edge omics techniques to discover the regulatory components of monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis in two plant species. Researchers will...
This Project Grant award of $408,007 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a technology called "glycosequencing" that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to sequence and quantify glycan structures. The project will first identify an optimal set of lectins, biochemically characterize them, and prepare lectin barcoding for NGS. It will also build a training dataset using recombinant proteins produced in glycoengineered Chinese...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $9,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to establish a National Center for Biofoundry Applications (NCBA) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The goal of the NCBA is to advance the bioeconomy by developing a synergistic and fully integrated program consisting of in-house research and technology development, an external user program, and knowledge sharing, education, diversity, and...
This $3,949,992 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the development of standards, metrics, and best practices to enable the wide-scale adoption of reliable and scalable biofoundries for biomanufacturing and the global bioeconomy. The primary awardee, the University of Illinois, is leading an international consortium of seven successful biofoundries from the U.S., Finland, Japan, South Korea, and the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $308,299 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to develop novel methods for sequencing, visualizing, and analyzing glycosylated RNAs (glycornas) across diverse organisms including humans, plants, yeast, and bacteria. The project aims to create unbiased enrichment techniques using glycan-specific ligands and advanced sequencing approaches, as well as spatial imaging methods...
This Project Grant award of $390,000.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program, supports a research program to develop a versatile, small molecule-based platform to map the "reader proteins" of glycosylation. The goal is to decipher the protein-carbohydrate interaction code, especially related to disease-relevant protein-carbohydrate interactions, which could lay the foundation for...
This $575,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will support a research effort led by Professor George O'Doherty at Northeastern University to develop novel synthetic methods for the asymmetric synthesis of oligosaccharide structures. The project aims to enable the efficient, de novo construction of both natural and unnatural oligosaccharide motifs, which have important applications in biology...
