- This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $806,156 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct research exploring the mechanisms and repeatability of speciation with gene flow. The project aims to uncover how new species form by investigating whether the location of genes in a genome makes them more likely to contribute to species separation. In addition to the research objectives, the award...
- The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $1.56M Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The award is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from September 2021 through August 2025 to decipher the robustness mechanisms of the stem promoting transcription factor gradient. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national...
- This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $413,342 to Yale University to develop a three-dimensional computational model of leaf development that can be used to design and build multi-functional, mechanically robust materials inspired by plant leaves. The project aims to: 1) develop new image analysis methods to characterize the 3D structural diversity of leaves, 2) create a 3D computational model of leaf development, and 3)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct mathematical analyses of multidimensional single cell transcriptional vector fields. The 3-year grant, titled "EMB: Mathematical Analyses of Multidimensional Single Cell Transcriptional Vector Fields," aims to develop data-driven mathematical models describing how genes coordinately regulate the development of different cell types, such...
- This $1,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports a multi-disciplinary research project at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to better understand how plant cell division is regulated. The key objectives are to determine how the hormonal signaling process of cytokinin regulates the dynamic formation of the cell plate and deposition of the flexible polysaccharide callose during plant cell...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 CAREER grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop a multiscale mathematical model for understanding the mechanisms underlying cell morphogenesis and tissue development in plant leaves. The 5-year project aims to improve understanding of the general principles that govern cell shape formation and tissue growth, using the interdigitated puzzle shapes of plant epidermal pavement cells as a model system. The proposed research will integrate chemical signaling networks, mechanical properties, and cell-cell interactions to test hypotheses on the fundamental drivers of this complex developmental process. The project will involve developing computational modeling techniques, leveraging machine learning and experimental data, and establishing an undergraduate research program to promote awareness of mathematical biology careers.
