This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $673,524 supports research at North Carolina State University to develop a mathematical model of mitosis through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The model will simulate chromosome segregation and nuclear envelope shape change coordination in fission yeast mitosis. Researchers will extend an existing mitosis model to include a deformable elastic nuclear envelope integrating the spindle, chromosomes, and nuclear envelope. They will...
This National Science Foundation award provides $1,656,474 to the University of Colorado Boulder through May 2026 to develop mathematical models of mitosis under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074). The university will build on previous work modeling chromosome segregation during cell division to create a new model integrating deformable nuclear envelope dynamics. Researchers aim to identify how forces within the nuclear envelope drive successful chromosome separation during...
This three-year, $719,144 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to develop a mesoscale kinetic theory framework for early mitotic spindle organization. The framework will use statistical summaries and parameterization through in vitro experiments to model crosslinker-mediated interactions between microtubules during cell division. Researchers will construct a reduced...
