The $209,101 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds a collaborative research project between North Carolina State University and the University of Miami from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The project aims to develop a new class of synthetic dyes with photoactivatable fluorescence for bioimaging applications through the synthesis, characterization, and single-molecule spectroscopic analysis of four series of borondipyrromethane (BODIPY) dyes. The goal is to generate a library of cell-permeable and bioconjugatable dyes with resolved single-molecule emission spectra to enable the unprecedented high-throughput multiplexed single-molecule tracking of proteins in live cells. The award supports the participation of students, postdoctoral associates, and underrepresented groups in the research.
