The research aims to elucidate the structures and dynamics of molecular complexes that...
This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to Brandeis University is for $550,000 over the period of December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027. The project aims to study the neurological mechanisms that allow the feeding system of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans to maintain functional resilience to changes in environmental temperature. The research will combine computational modeling and experimental analysis to understand how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. The three-year award will fund research and a virtual community focused on defining and programming transcriptional activatability in bacterial promoters. Specifically, the fellow will use high-throughput sequencing, Bayesian inference, and deep learning to quantify kinetics of individual transcription...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 to fund research investigating gene regulatory network evolution across 13 species of roundworms. The fellowship award supports a postdoctoral researcher from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The researcher will use single-cell sequencing to build molecular atlases of embryonic development for each roundworm species, comparing gene expression patterns across tissues and...
