This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program, CFDA 47.049, provides $360,000 over 3 years to Elizabethtown College to study new methods for molecular recognition of biologically significant non-coding RNA. The project focuses on developing peptide nucleic acid (PNA) nucleobases capable of selectively binding double-stranded RNA, which has applications in imaging, functional control of regulatory RNA, and inhibition of biologically important RNA. The collaboration between SUNY Binghamton and Elizabethtown College aims to expand interdisciplinary research, foster STEM workforce development, and improve undergraduate and graduate student training. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
