The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded a $398,791 Project Grant to The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees to support the project "MCA: A Computational Framework to Study Micrornas in Cell-Cell Interactions" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.
This grant will fund the development of a computational framework to study the role of micrornas, small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression, in cell-cell interactions and communications. The framework aims to advance understanding of major problems in the biological sciences, as outlined in the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) of the NSF. The University of Central Florida will leverage the $398K in federal funding over three years to develop computational tools and models that further knowledge of microrna functions and their implications in biological systems.
