This National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the amount of $240,000 will support research and training from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will leverage biocoronas to enhance agricultural nanotechnology by characterizing biocoronas formed on nanocarrier surfaces in plants and using this data to optimize gene editing mediated by nanomaterials. Specifically, the fellow aims to extract and identify the in planta biocorona composition from nanocarriers functionalized with genetic material like silencing RNA. Enriched proteins, lipids and metabolites will be identified through multi-omic approaches and fed into machine learning algorithms to predict biocorona formation across crops. This will support development of gene editing nanocarriers with coatings to enhance uptake efficacy and payload release validation. Outreach is expected to expose underserved communities to relevant agricultural research.
