The National Science Foundation awarded a $365,567 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The funding will support the acquisition of a Sartorius Biolayer Interferometer Octet RH16 instrument for label-free detection of biomolecular interactions. The instrument will be used broadly in research and undergraduate training programs across multiple campuses, including the University of Delaware and surrounding Primarily Undergraduate Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. It is expected to support the research of 20 groups representing a wide range of areas including biochemistry, biophysics, chemical biology, molecular biology, materials science, and biomolecular engineering. Access to the instrument will enable researchers to tackle interdisciplinary problems and forge new collaborations. Undergraduate and graduate students will gain hands-on experience using the instrument, positively impacting their future STEM careers.
