Syracuse University was awarded a $579,303 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on June 15, 2021 to complete work by May 31, 2024. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to promote progress in these fields and enhance understanding of major problems.
Specifically, the funding supports an integrated computational and experimental approach to reveal design principles for responsive nanomaterials derived from disordered proteins modified with lipids. The work aims to increase understanding of how these protein-based structures respond to environmental changes at the nanoscale. Syracuse University will leverage its expertise in materials research to deliver insights with the potential to inform future engineering of responsive biomaterials.
