This will enable downstream discoveries in areas such as...
This $2,996,108 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program is supporting the development of more efficient cell-free biomanufacturing processes. The project aims to create a robust, reusable platform capable of sustaining multi-enzyme cascades for the efficient synthesis of high-value, enantio-enriched products such as chiral amines and alcohols. This will be achieved by introducing membrane-less...
This Project Grant award of $408,007 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a technology called "glycosequencing" that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to sequence and quantify glycan structures. The project will first identify an optimal set of lectins, biochemically characterize them, and prepare lectin barcoding for NGS. It will also build a training dataset using recombinant proteins produced in glycoengineered Chinese...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) Project Grant of $579,734 awarded to Rutgers, The State University, aims to accelerate the design and development of synthetic enzymes through a combination of artificial intelligence, polymer science, and robotics. The project will implement an iterative design-build-test-learn process to reveal the underlying structure-function relationships that can produce enzyme mimetic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to Trustees of Dartmouth College to support the development of an "Emerging Technology Tool for Rapid Drug-Cocktail Formulation."
