This $448,150 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop a DNA-based toolbox for the rapid and precise modulation of cell membrane protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The goal is to establish a modular approach using antibodies and aptamers to enable targeted DNA barcoding of cell membrane proteins, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases. This will allow for the controlled stabilization of specific PPI pairs on living...
This $259,157 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to enhance the capabilities of an inducible protein degradation tool called E3-DART for plant cell biology research. The key goals are to develop a ligand-inducible version of the E3-DART system, integrate it with other recombinant tools, and demonstrate proof-of-concept applications for studying endomembrane protein...
This $298,578 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Ohio State University. The goal of this Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project is to develop novel genetically encoded biosensors as a proxy for detecting and monitoring biomolecular condensates - dynamic membraneless cellular compartments formed through liquid-liquid phase separation - in multicellular plant organisms over...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems Project Grant will fund research at Washington State University to investigate the mechanisms underlying the partitioning and allocation of photosynthetically-derived sugars in plants. The $567,408 award, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will utilize recently developed tools for in situ observation of the phloem vascular tissue, microscopy protocols, and machine learning algorithms to quantify...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $669,456 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for the project "Collaborative Research: Tools 4 Cells: Developing Next Generation Methods for Studying Cytoskeletal Factors in the Cell Nucleus". This 3-year project aims to develop novel tools to precisely perturb and study the role of the cytoskeletal protein actin within the cell...
This $125,896 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research at Western Washington University to understand the biophysical principles underlying the dynamic behavior of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The project aims to characterize the conformational landscapes of IDPs and model their transition to functional assemblies or pathological aggregates, using advanced computational methods such as molecular...
This three-year $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Washington State University to develop a quantitative understanding of lipid metabolic network structure, fluxes, and sub-cellular spatial organization in plant seeds. The goal is to elucidate how plants balance oil accumulation with membrane lipid synthesis to optimize seed oil production without affecting membrane properties. The project will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation for the "TOOLS4CELLS: EAGER: A MOLECULAR PURSUIT FOR THE ENGRAM: MICROFLUIDIC TEMPORAL TRANSCRIPTOMICS FOR SINGLE CELL LEARNING" project. This 2-year effort aims to develop innovative microfluidic tools and workflows to investigate the role of non-coding RNA in learning and memory storage in single-celled organisms. Key...
This Project Grant award of $726,093 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop programmable and tunable synthetic regulatory elements to enable more predictable gene expression in plants. The University of Washington is the prime awardee and will use a toolbox of novel experimental and computational strategies to: Develop a large repertoire of programmable and tunable synthetic regulatory elements through massively parallel reporter...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $590,000 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) on August 15, 2023 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of this 3-year research project is to develop novel strategies for real-time metabolite sensing and metabolite-induced enzyme localization that can contribute to fundamental cellular knowledge and improve the efficiency of synthetic biology...
