This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research investigating the cellular mechanisms and evolution of coral-algal symbiosis. The fellow will characterize the symbiosome membrane proteome in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana and coral Acropora millepora to better understand the fundamental processes governing the critical symbiotic relationship between corals and algae. Through techniques including...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at understanding the origin and evolution of novel biological traits in cnidarians (corals, jellyfish, etc.). The $230,000 award, active from March 2025 through February 2030, is funding work to characterize the protein-protein interactions necessary for the development of cnidarian stinging cells, or nematocytes. Additionally, the project is investigating the...
