This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program is funding research at the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), Brooklyn College, to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms through which prions contribute to cellular adaptation in yeast. The $700,000 project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to: (1) map changes in histone modifications associated with the [PIN+] prion; (2) determine the levels,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,027,074 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for work spanning July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The award will support research examining how natural selection impacts prions, which are proteins that can replicate across generations and in some cases cause disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities. Specifically, the grantee will conduct an experimental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to Brandeis University for $229,840 will investigate how a specialized protein called HP1 helps cells maintain epigenetic memory, the patterns of gene expression that are passed on as cells divide. The 5-year research project will use the fission yeast model organism to: Engineer synthetic modules to directly test how genome compartmentalization influences epigenetic memory, Determine how...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $358,777 Project Grant to the College of William and Mary under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund collaborative research from July 2022 to June 2026. The research aims to advance understanding of how natural selection impacts prions, which are protein-based infectious agents that can cause diseases like mad cow disease, at multiple levels from molecules to biological communities....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the molecular mechanisms that enable adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast populations to complex environmental stressors. The research aims to reveal evolutionary dynamics resulting from varying levels of environmental complexity, with the goal of improving...
This $322,962 project grant, awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), aims to uncover the link between prions and BAF protein complexes and their role in transcription regulation and cellular phenotypes. Key objectives include: Characterizing variants of the [SWI+] prion and their distinct transcriptomic and phenotypic effects. Examining how [SWI+] alters the structure and activities of the...
This $317,533 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to develop a mathematical model that can explain the heterogeneity in how yeast cells transition between proliferation and quiescence in response to various stress stimuli. The award to North Carolina State University will leverage novel deep learning techniques to directly learn differential equation models from single-cell protein expression data....
This $350,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a yeast strain with a robust protein secretion system that is tolerant to extreme pH and temperature levels. The primary objectives are to engineer the secretory pathway of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus using gene editing tools such as CRISPR, identify critical genes influencing protein production and secretion, and develop effective CRISPR libraries and selection...
This $592,495 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Dartmouth College from February 15, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The project aims to identify the molecular pathway controlling meiotic termination in budding yeast through experiments analyzing how autophagy shapes the meiotic transcriptome and proteome at different stages of meiosis. Researchers will define...
