The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $242,103 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with an effective date of April 15, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. The grant will fund research to investigate how proteins and lipids coordinate the formation and function of membrane-associated condensates at the cell surface. This research aims to improve the understanding of how the cell surface is organized, which could lead to breakthroughs in biotechnology, disease treatment, and advancing overall knowledge of cell communication and function. The project will also provide hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as support a new initiative to educate cell biology educators about emerging topics related to the research. No subawards are planned under this grant.
