This federal Project Grant award for $215,113, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research at the University of Colorado-Denver to study the coordination and force transmission of beating cilia. Cilia are tiny, slender structures that extend from cells and move fluid through wave-like motions. This research aims to understand how coordination of cilia beating is maintained, particularly in single-celled organisms, and how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to The Washington University for $284,857 supports research on the coordination and force transmission of beating cilia. Cilia are slender structures found in the lungs, brain, and reproductive systems that move fluid through wave-like motion. This research aims to understand how coordination of cilia beating is maintained in the single-celled organism Tetrahymena, specifically examining how changes in...
This $291,710 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports an integrative structural and functional study to dissect the regulatory mechanisms of ciliary motility. The project aims to enhance the understanding of motile cilia and flagella, cellular structures responsible for the locomotion of many single-celled eukaryotes and the movement of fluids in multi-cellular organisms. The study will focus on investigating the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Cornell University for $1,212,392 provides funding from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028 to design, fabricate, and integrate low-power optical, chemical, and thermal sensors, as well as programmable control circuits, into a modular robotic cilia metasurface platform. The project aims to develop a robotic system capable of sensing environmental changes and actuating fluid flows in microfluidic devices...
This Project Grant award, valued at $132,716.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The funding will support research to explore and harness the collective motion of the nematode Turbatrix aceti, a millimeter-sized worm found in vinegar. The project aims to: 1) understand the synchronization mechanism and properties of the nematodes' collective states, 2) study their motion in viscous and complex fluids, and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $276,326, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to support collaborative research on the fluid flow dynamics of beating eukaryotic flagella. The research team aims to investigate the detailed flow field induced by the beating motion of flagella and cilia, which play critical roles in various biological processes. Using state-of-the-art...
This $308,031 three-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on the nonlinear electrohydrodynamics of motile particles in confinement. The project aims to develop mathematical models, analytical solutions, and computational methods to understand the behavior of micron-sized colloidal particles driven to rotate or roll by electric fields between two planar electrodes. The research integrates...
