The National Science Foundation awarded Loyola University Maryland $412,470 under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to establish a new Flow Cytometry Core Facility from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The university will use the funding to acquire a fluorescence-activated cell sorter instrument to support faculty and student research projects involving the control of DNA packaging, the gut microbiome's interplay with the endocrine system, the effects of complementary medicines on immunity, heavy metal exposure's impact on DNA repair and toxicity, and the role of cell cycle factors in genome integrity and programmed cell death. The new core facility will serve to advance these projects by allowing for more complex molecular and cellular data collection as well as the creation of specifically selected cell lines for future experimentation. It will also provide valuable training for undergraduate students from Loyola University Maryland and other regional institutions and engage the local business community through collaborations with biomedical startups.
