This $263,800 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and France. The project will investigate how DNA supercoiling, or the over- and under-twisting of the DNA double helix, impacts the regulation of gene transcription - a fundamental biological process that converts genetic information into RNA. The research aims to characterize the effects of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2 million project grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to support research investigating how animals maintain correct gene expression timing during development at varying temperatures. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this four-year award beginning in July 2022 will enable the awardee to utilize microfluidic imaging technology to quantitatively study temporal patterning in the gene regulatory networks that control...
The University of California, San Diego received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 1, 2021 to develop a high-throughput in vivo method for measuring transcription factor-DNA interactions. The grant supports research under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) through January 31, 2023. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the fundamental biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems through basic research....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to research the adaptive response of bacteria to bacteriophage infection and high hydrostatic pressure. The fellow will develop novel fluorescence microscopy techniques to quantify bacterial growth, cell size, and morphology under these environmental stressors using model organisms E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. piezotolerans. The project...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a 3-year NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund research and training focused on investigating the process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacterial communities. The research aims to create a detailed map of how mutations in specific plasmid genes impact a plasmid's ability to spread horizontally between bacteria, as...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). The fellowship will fund research and training that investigates how DNA transfer drives ecological relationships across different levels of biological organization. The project aims to uncover patterns of DNA transfers within microbial communities and use this information to model past and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant in the amount of $270,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the role of epigenetics in bacterial adaptation. The 3-year award, beginning June 1, 2025, will fund research to uncover how epigenetic modifications influence bacterial survival and adaptation, particularly in response to antimicrobial compounds. The project aims to advance the understanding of bacterial fitness and adaptation in...
