Skidmore College received a $573,372 three-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to spatially and temporally map the membrane trafficking networks involved in secretion and autophagy in the unicellular alga Penium margaritaceum. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance basic biological research and strengthen the scientific enterprise, with most funding dedicated to basic scientific inquiry. This award will support Skidmore College's efforts to increase understanding of major cellular processes in an understudied microorganism through mapping its membrane trafficking pathways.
