- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has awarded a $749,999 Project Grant to Princeton University and San Diego State University. The grant will fund the development of a novel method for tracking the synthesis, localization, and dynamics of RNA messages in living cells using metabolically incorporated fluorescent nucleosides. This innovative approach will enable researchers to study the organization of cellular structures...
- This $605,020 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research conducted by Professor Byron Purse of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at San Diego State University. The research aims to determine how molecular structure and local environment influence key properties of fluorescent nucleobase analogues (FBAs), which are synthetic molecules that mimic natural genetic bases and enable sensitive...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $124,564 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of South Dakota (USD) to develop water-soluble afterglow luminescent nanocomposites for bioimaging and bioanalysis. This 2-year project, co-funded by the NSF Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), aims to synthesize and characterize novel carbon dot-doped semiconducting polymer nanoparticles that exhibit afterglow luminescence. The research team, led by Dr. Steven Wu, will investigate the mechanisms underlying the afterglow luminescence and demonstrate the potential of these nanomaterials for improving detection sensitivity and accuracy in bioimaging and bioanalysis applications. Additionally, the project will provide research opportunities for underrepresented minority undergraduate students at tribal colleges in South Dakota to encourage STEM career pathways. This award reflects NSF's commitment to advancing cutting-edge materials science research and broadening participation in science.
