The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $653,629 to Northeastern University on February 1, 2024 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The objectives of this 5-year project are to elucidate and optimize the binding affinity between collectins (a class of immune system proteins) and glycans (sugar structures found on pathogens), with the goal of enhancing early detection and response to viral infections like influenza. The research will employ an interdisciplinary...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $671,681 to the University of Maryland, College Park aims to advance the fundamental understanding of bacterial extracellular vesicle (BEV) biogenesis, fate, and function within the human vaginal microbiome. The research project will characterize BEV production, evaluate how the mucus barrier impacts BEV transport, and determine how BEV signaling is affected by changes in the host environment. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $398,481 to the University of South Carolina to quantify and predict how surface properties and airflow affect the attachment, transfer, and re-aerosolization of select enveloped and non-enveloped viruses in indoor environments. The key research objectives are to: 1) determine the significant parameters and dimensionless groups that encompass virus-surface interactions in indoor...
This federal Project Grant award of $120,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Maryland, College Park to characterize and model the role of interfaces in suspension dynamics for various industrial and environmental processes. The research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of suspension flows under confinement, establishing when and how particles disturb thin liquid films. The proposed work will...
