The National Science Foundation awarded a $464,102 Project Grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research merging deep learning and mechanistic modeling to analyze electrophysiology related to circadian clocks, aging, cardiac arrhythmias, and Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, the grantee and collaborators at IBM Research and Purdue University will develop hybrid deep learning and mechanistic modeling frameworks to identify biophysical model parameters from experimental observation datasets. This will enable incorporation of additional constraints based on prior biological knowledge. The research is intended to advance understanding of ion channel conductances involved in age-related circadian rhythm declines and altered neuronal excitability related to Alzheimer's disease. It will also analyze human electrocardiogram data to study the hypothesis that circadian rhythms impact drug efficacy for treating cardiac arrhythmias. The grant provides support for community college and graduate students to gain research experience through mentored summer internships.
