The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $3,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The Center for Genetically Encoded Materials (C-GEM) at UC Berkeley will use this funding to develop new biologically-inspired methods for precisely tailoring and constructing complex molecules, similar to how natural ribosomes assemble proteins. The research aims to re-engineer the ribosome and associated enzymes to build molecules in a controlled, step-wise fashion, and to develop new chemistry to further modify these materials. This work will expand the chemical capabilities of ribosome-mediated synthesis both in vitro and in vivo, enabling the creation of novel molecular architectures with unique structures and functionalities. The project also includes education and public engagement components, training collaborative teams of students and postdoctoral researchers while engaging citizen scientists through a scientific discovery game. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and support research with potential for broader societal and technological impacts.
