This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to Bowie State University, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), provides $300,000 in funding from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The project aims to develop new molecular models and a machine learning approach to rapidly and accurately build 3D structural models of individual inhibitor/G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) complexes. This research has the potential to identify new drugs using machine learning methods and provide interdisciplinary training to undergraduate students at Bowie State University, an HBCU. The project focuses on identifying bonding ligands for Class A GPCRs, which are targets for 40-50% of all pharmaceuticals. By building new opportunities for students in interdisciplinary science using machine learning, the project also seeks to contribute to developing a more diverse STEM workforce.
