The National Science Foundation awarded $475,726 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas. The project grant funding will support research to develop novel biodegradable polymer nanodiscs as lipoprotein-mimicking nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery. Specifically, the award will fund work to elucidate design principles for biocompatible block copolymers that self-assemble with membrane-scaffold proteins or synthetic polymers into well-defined polymer nanodiscs. These nanodiscs aim to improve on lipid nanodiscs as drug carriers by providing greater stability, drug loading capacity, and capacity for chemical modifications while maintaining the shape and size benefits of lipid nanodiscs for circulation half-life and cellular uptake. Outcomes of the research are expected to advance nanotechnology for cancer treatment and have broader impact in fields including nanodisc-based immunotherapy and studies of membrane proteins. The period of performance for the award is August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025.
