The National Science Foundation awarded a $298,911 Project Grant to New York University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research on water-responsive, shape-shifting supramolecular protein assemblies. Over a three-year period from August 2023 to July 2026, NYU will work with professors from New York University, CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, and CUNY City College to develop protein polymers that can respond to...
This $315,657 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of synthetic mucin polymers that mimic natural mucus. The Research Foundation of the City University of New York will lead a collaborative effort with the University of Pennsylvania to create new biomimetic polymers through systematic study of homopolymer, random copolymer, and triblock copolymer compositions. Researchers will investigate the relationship...
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 $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 $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort led by New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. The project aims to enhance the design of fluorinated protein fibers and hydrogels for medical applications. Key objectives include: 1) generating coiled-coil fluorinated fibers for controlled drug delivery, 2) developing temperature-responsive fluorinated hydrogels,...
