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...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $120,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a mathematical model of mitosis. The award period is from June 15, 2022 to May 31, 2026. Under the award, NYU will build on previous work modeling cell division to create a more realistic simulation of closed mitosis. Researchers will extend their model to include a deformable elastic nuclear envelope integrating the...
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 four-year, $1.388 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research between New York University and other organizations to discover the principles of active self-organization in the differentiating genome. The research will integrate state-of-the-art live cell experiments with multiscale mathematical and computational models of chromatin dynamics in the cell nucleus. Experiments will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $399,755 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds the development of new mathematical modeling paradigms and simulation software tools for investigating cell mechanics across multiple scales. This includes contributions from cell membranes and the cytoskeleton, and the roles of geometry,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $501,269 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund theoretical and computational modeling of supercoiling, topology, and active fluctuations in chromosomal organization and dynamics from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goal of strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased understanding...
This $120,227 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Northeastern University to develop a new theoretical approach for studying the three-dimensional architecture and conformational ensembles of genes and gene clusters. The project aims to: (i) model the mechanics of chromatin at the gene scale, (ii) investigate how genomic conformations are affected by factors like supercoiling and...
This Project Grant award of $125,000.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the self-organization of microtubules into complex cellular structures such as the mitotic spindle and dendritic arbors. The research, led by the awardee The Trustees of Princeton University, aims to determine how branched microtubule networks assemble into functional...
This $275,315 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Purdue University to understand how the mechanical regulation of chromatin motion in the cell nucleus responds to external stimuli. The project aims to develop new imaging platforms and experimental methods to simultaneously quantify intracellular tension and chromatin dynamics under mechanical disturbance. This work has the potential to...
