Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RF CUNY), doing business as RF CUNY - Advanced Science Research Center, received a three-year $173,091 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award supports collaborative research between professors at New York University and CUNY to develop water-responsive, shape-shifting supramolecular protein assemblies. Specifically, the researchers aim to...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to enhance the design of fluorinated protein fibers and hydrogels for medical use. The key objectives are to: 1) generate coiled-coil fluorinated fibers for controlled drug encapsulation, 2) develop fluorinated coiled-coil hydrogels that can change with temperature, and 3) assess the potential of these fluorinated materials as imaging agents for 19F...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research on a new class of materials called protein-like polymers (PLPs). The $170,954 award funds a collaborative research effort to study how these PLP materials can mimic the structure and function of proteins, enabling them to interact with and penetrate biological membranes and cells. The goal is to elucidate the mechanisms by which...
This $115,114 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop and characterize novel biomaterials made from folded globular proteins. The project aims to: Experimentally characterize the mechanical response of the protein building blocks at the single-molecule level under varying force, tethering geometry, and solution conditions. Directly relate the observed domain unfolding of the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to enhance the design of fluorinated protein fibers and hydrogels for medical applications. The $200,000 award to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine has three key objectives: 1) generating coiled-coil fluorinated fibers for controlled drug delivery, 2) developing fluorinated coiled-coil hydrogels with temperature-responsive properties, and 3)...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Northwestern University to develop de novo designed proteins as mechano-responsive junctions in protein-polymer networks. The key objectives are to: (i) synthesize and computationally simulate de novo designed proteins and their respective protein-polymer networks, and (ii) develop techniques for mechanical characterization...
This $578,955 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to create "metabolic" droplets where chemical activity alters and controls material properties. The principal investigator at The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York aims to couple enzymatic activity to phase separation in vitro, with the goal of animating equilibrium materials to capture life-like properties....
This $525,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at New York University from June 2022 to May 2025 to develop synthetic analogs of the small protein ubiquitin using block copolymers. Professor Marcus Weck will employ innovative design principles to fold and assemble artificial versions of ubiquitin through the use of folding synthetic polymers with protein-like...
This Project Grant award of $1,500,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to elucidate the design principles for de novo designed proteins as mechano-responsive junctions in protein-polymer networks. The key products and services to be delivered include: (1) Development of de novo designed proteins that can be readily transformed into junctions within polymer networks. (2) Investigation of the use of de novo...
