This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 supports a postdoctoral fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund research and training investigating the spatiotemporal coordination of cell and chloroplast division in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Using gene editing, live cell microscopy, and other techniques, the fellow will test hypotheses about cytoskeletal structures mediating spatial coordination and cell cycle regulators controlling temporal coordination of cell and chloroplast division events. The fellow will also conduct forward genetic screens and proximity-based proteomics to identify new genes and proteins involved in coordinating these processes. Broader impacts include establishing a cross-institutional mentoring program for Black female postdoctoral fellows in biology. Insights gained from this research could illuminate principles of intracellular communication and inform efforts to leverage photosynthetic organisms for climate change mitigation.
