Lehigh University received a $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences on September 15, 2021 to support structural and biophysical studies of bacterial copper acquisition and regulation. The award is being used to fund research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) through August 31, 2023. This program aims to advance scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems through support of mathematical and physical sciences research. Specifically, the Lehigh University award is providing two years of funding for studies exploring the mechanisms by which bacteria acquire and regulate copper, an essential micronutrient. Insights gained from this research could help address health challenges associated with bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance.
