The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Materials Research, awarded a collaborative research project grant of $489,891 to The Trustees of Princeton University (awarded July 1, 2026; completion date June 30, 2029) under CFDA 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences). This project investigates the mesoscopic properties and complex morphologies of multiphase biomolecular liquids inspired by phase-separated condensates observed in living cells. Research deliverables include experimental investigations using programmable DNA nanostar particles to create and characterize liquid droplets, combined with theoretical modeling and computer simulations. The project will establish the fundamental physical principles governing coexistence of multiple distinct biomolecular liquid phases, elucidate how microscopic molecular properties determine phase behavior and interfacial interactions, and characterize the equilibrium and kinetic processes controlling droplet morphology and organization. This fundamental research effort generates scientific knowledge applicable to both basic biology and materials science, with anticipated practical applications to emerging biotechnologies utilizing liquid droplets for chemical reactions. Deliverables will also include workforce development through graduate and undergraduate student training in cross-disciplinary research methodologies. The research combining experimental validation with computational design guidance will advance understanding of cellular compartmentalization mechanisms and inform the rational design of programmable biomolecular systems for technological applications.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
