This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry provides $464,215 to Professor Lauren Webb of the University of Texas at Austin from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding supports research at the bio/abiotic interface to develop biomimetic sensors, catalysts, and materials. Specifically, Professor Webb and her students will combine synthetic chemistry techniques and advanced analytics to study how proteins function in non-biological contexts. They aim to integrate biological molecules into artificial environments to co-opt basic biological functions for applications like highly sensitive analyte detection and environmentally-friendly catalytic synthesis. Outcomes from their work on preparing and characterizing these hybrid systems could enable new protein-based sensors, catalysts, and biomaterials. In addition, the University of Texas at Austin will use a portion of the grant to support chemistry education programs for Texas high school students and teachers. This award advances the goals of the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
