This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $200,000 in funding to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research that aims to understand genomic organization in the cell nucleus. The research team will employ an integrated approach leveraging biophysical modeling, super-resolution imaging, and machine learning to develop predictive models of how chromatin structure and dynamics regulate gene expression in response to changes in the cellular microenvironment. Key deliverables include new quantitative models for heterochromatin distribution, experimental validation using fixed and fluid-fate cell lines, and the development of a data-efficient deep learning framework to extract high-dimensional parameters from microscopy images. The award period is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
