The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $380,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on February 15, 2021 to complete work by January 31, 2024. The grant funds a collaborative research effort titled "Designing a Minimized Genome Cyanobacterial Chassis for Efficient Bioproduction" under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
The research aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant supports work designing a streamlined cyanobacterial organism intended for efficient biomanufacturing through the development of a "minimized genome cyanobacterial chassis." Findings from the research could strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and potentially enable new biomanufacturing applications.
