- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $748,357 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation under a Project Grant to support the collaborative research project "Bromoform Production and ROS Response to Stress in Seaweeds" from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. This award will fund research examining bromoform production and reactive oxygen species response to stress in seaweeds. Bromoform is a naturally produced volatile organic compound emitted by seaweeds, yet its biological role and production mechanisms remain unclear. This project aims to investigate bromoform production pathways in seaweeds and their response to environmental stressors like heat and light through the generation of reactive oxygen species. Insights gained will advance understanding of seaweed physiology and ecology. The research is aligned with the goals of the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program to strengthen the biological sciences through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues.
