The University of Illinois was awarded a $250,542 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems to conduct research on the dynamics and stability of multi-component lipid vesicles in flow. The grant falls under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's Engineering program (CFDA #47.041), which supports research and education to improve engineering.
The University will use the funding over a two-year period ending December 2024 to collaborate on research examining how the composition and structure of multi-component lipid vesicles are affected when subjected to fluid flow conditions. The work will provide insight into membrane dynamics at the microscale and nanoscale that influence cellular processes and synthetic biomimetic systems. The place of performance for the research is the University of Illinois campus in Champaign, Illinois.
