- This Project Grant award of $876,272.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research to develop advanced genetic manipulation tools for bacteria. The project aims to expand the biotechnological capabilities of marine bacteria called Vibrios, which are important in food production, disease, and host-microbe interactions. The research will focus on scaling up methods to influence the expression of individual bacterial genes...
- This $1,500,004.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the J. David Gladstone Institutes supports research to investigate the mechanisms of a novel bacterial immune system called retrons. Retrons sense when a bacterial cell is infected by a virus (phage) and respond by killing the infected cell to protect the larger bacterial population. The key focus of this 3-year project (8/1/2025 - 7/31/2028) is to uncover the...
- This three-year, $240,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research and outreach activities under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will conduct a comprehensive survey of bacterial and viral communities in a parasitic plant system to identify horizontal gene transfer events. Microbial interaction networks will be analyzed to understand patterns of gene sharing. Workshops and activities will be developed...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to design, build, and test synthetic signaling systems built from computationally-designed de novo protein components. The goal is to develop stable, tunable, and modular signaling systems capable of precisely controlling biological processes, with applications in biotechnology such as engineered cells for...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) federal Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding the University of Illinois to construct a new type of self-replicating synthetic cell system. The $448,355 award from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027 supports the development of engineered synthetic cells that can grow, divide, and replicate their genetic information using nucleic acids as both structural and genetic components. The project aims to investigate the...
