This $125,805 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop new cell sorting technologies that can identify and separate cells based on changes in the activity of naturally occurring light-emitting molecules like NAD(P)H. The goal is to enable label-free, rapid identification and purification of cell populations, with a focus on stem cells and their functional subsets.

The research will create a single cell deposition module to correlate NAD(P)H lifetimes with stem cell self-renewal capacity, as well as separate metabolic subpopulations within stem cell lines. This could significantly impact biomedical research by providing a novel method to purify and assess cell function without the need for labeling. The award period is from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2026, and no sub-awards are planned.
