This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $899,975 to Baylor College of Medicine to investigate the development and synchronization of the social soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The research aims to gain insights into the organization and coordination of multicellular organisms. Advanced techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA sequencing will be used to quantify...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $1,261,723 will fund research into the predatory behavior of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum through January 2027. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award made to Washington University will support investigation into how this microbe evolves to be a generalist or specialist predator of bacteria. The researchers will study D. discoideum's responses to a panel of 15 diverse bacterial species through experiments on...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $139,341 project grant to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The 3-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, supports collaborative research to investigate the biomechanical mechanisms underlying wound resilience in the single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus. The research will leverage cell biology, microfluidics, and...
This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $293,514 Project Grant to The Trustees of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. The grant supports research from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant funds development of microelectrophoretic and statistical tools to study kinase- and reactive oxygen species-based signaling pathways in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The...
