This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program provides $451,460 to Emory University to conduct collaborative research on the computational design of peptide-based filamentous nanomaterials. The project, led by researchers from Emory University and the University of Illinois Chicago, aims to develop a general scientific approach to computation-guided design of peptide-based filaments with potential applications in synthetic tissues, drug delivery, vaccines, and antibiotics. The research will address key challenges in the design process and leverage computational methods to model interfacial interactions and symmetry in peptide structures. The project includes educational components, such as partnering with the Atlanta Science Festival to develop public outreach exhibits. The award has an effective date of August 1, 2024, and a performance period through July 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
