This $383,891 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to understand the mechanisms driving cell cycle plasticity and robustness. The principal investigator will use advanced time-lapse microscopy tools to investigate how cells can bypass inhibition of the CDK2 cell cycle regulator by activating alternative CDK4/6 pathways, enabling...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $673,524 supports research at North Carolina State University to develop a mathematical model of mitosis through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The model will simulate chromosome segregation and nuclear envelope shape change coordination in fission yeast mitosis. Researchers will extend an existing mitosis model to include a deformable elastic nuclear envelope integrating the spindle, chromosomes, and nuclear envelope. They will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,178,564 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research seeking to understand the minimal requirements for sustainable and tunable cell cycles in synthetic cells. Over a four-year period ending in May 2026, the University of Michigan will reconstitute and investigate minimal cell-cycle clock systems in synthetic cells to advance understanding of cellular...
The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $120,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a mathematical model of mitosis. The award period is from June 15, 2022 to May 31, 2026. Under the award, NYU will build on previous work modeling cell division to create a more realistic simulation of closed mitosis. Researchers will extend their model to include a deformable elastic nuclear envelope integrating the...
This $317,533 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to develop a mathematical model that can explain the heterogeneity in how yeast cells transition between proliferation and quiescence in response to various stress stimuli. The award to North Carolina State University will leverage novel deep learning techniques to directly learn differential equation models from single-cell protein expression data....
This National Science Foundation award provides $1,656,474 to the University of Colorado Boulder through May 2026 to develop mathematical models of mitosis under the Biological Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.074). The university will build on previous work modeling chromosome segregation during cell division to create a new model integrating deformable nuclear envelope dynamics. Researchers aim to identify how forces within the nuclear envelope drive successful chromosome separation during...
This federal Project Grant award of $946,895 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) will fund research to advance the understanding of protein phosphorylation and its role in coordinating cell division. The project aims to identify new enzymes that carry out phosphorylation and the substrate proteins they modify to ensure proper cell division. Researchers will employ computational, biochemical, proteomic,...
This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
