Drexel University was awarded a $492,871 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. The grant is part of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and information science and engineering.
Under this award, Drexel University will conduct research from September 2021 to August 2024 to develop techniques for learning multi-scale sequence features to predict gene-microbiome function. The university will analyze relationships between genetic sequences and microbiome composition to advance understanding of how genes and microbes interact. Insights from this research could contribute to precision medicine approaches for addressing health issues involving interactions between genetics and microbial communities.
