The National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program has awarded Clark Atlanta University a $1,049,797 Project Grant to support research on the molecular and functional interactions between the TEAD and AR transcription factors. The project aims to uncover how diverse signaling molecules interact within cells, providing hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students, especially from African American communities, and a robust training platform for graduate and postgraduate researchers. The project employs advanced cellular and molecular techniques, including confocal microscopy, high-throughput DNA/RNA sequencing, and bioinformatics, to explore the mechanisms of TEAD-AR interplay and its impact on cellular processes. This research effort is expected to advance the understanding of fundamental cellular processes and help reduce disparities in employment in the nation's life sciences sectors through targeted training and development of a diverse STEM workforce.
