This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $500,000 in funding to The Regents of the University of Colorado to develop a suite of fluorescent RNA-based biosensors for monitoring metabolites in the methionine cycle of one-carbon metabolism in live cells. The project aims to create a "plug-and-play" toolkit of biosensors that can be used to study the dynamics and flux of central metabolites involved in regulating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the CFDA program "Biological Sciences" (47.074) is awarded to Trustees of Boston University to develop and optimize optogenetic tools for selecting bacterial cells based on dynamic, time-varying traits. The $796,158 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026, supports the researchers in creating light-inducible genetic constructs that trigger antibiotic resistance, enabling the isolation of bacteria exhibiting...
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...
This $402,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) aims to develop a novel approach that combines modular fluorophores and correlative super-resolution microscopy to investigate the structure, dynamics, and interactome of biomolecular condensates in bacteria. The project, being conducted at New York University, will apply this "opto-proteomic toolbox" to understand the role of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $630,000 to the University of New Mexico to develop an advanced optical microscopy system combining recent breakthroughs in imaging techniques. The system will enable high-speed (kHz) tracking of fluorophore-tagged proteins and near-quantum optimal measurements of protein separation, allowing for unprecedented observation of fast protein interactions and dimerization kinetics in...
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 $447,747 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) to Trustees of Boston University will develop a novel plasmonic nanosensor system to detect two important classes of RNA molecules - microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers and SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. The sensor platform uses DNA structures with nanoparticle probes that undergo conformational changes when binding to target RNAs, altering the plasmonic coupling signal which is detected via two-color...
This $762,960 federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of localized real-time biosensors to measure intracellular metabolite concentrations and elucidate their signaling roles. The research aims to understand how the availability and regulation of specific metabolites, such as mitochondrial NAD+, can impact enzymatic activity and cellular processes. By creating...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) in the amount of $364,969 will fund the development of a toolbox of switchable and functional fluorescent probes for multi-functional super-resolution microscopy (MF-SRM). The overarching goal is to enable new experimental and computational studies in the fields of chromatin epigenetics and spatially-resolved multi-omics by decoding...
