- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award, valued at $570,122.00 and effective September 1, 2024, supports a collaborative research effort to investigate innate immune responses in diverse eukaryotic organisms that consume bacteria. The project brings together a cross-disciplinary team of researchers to study innate immunity in sponges, choanoflagellates, and amoebae, which span the evolutionary transition between multicellular animals and their...
- This $1,714,712 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to critically evaluate the ecological and functional drivers of polyploid establishment in plants. The project aims to use population-level experiments with a model aquatic species under varied stresses to elucidate the mechanisms that allow polyploid species to thrive, especially in stressful habitats. The research will contribute to understanding the formative...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal project grant award provides $1,100,000 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) to systematically investigate a novel bacterial DNA-targeting immune system known as DDMDE. The project aims to transform genome editing capabilities by revealing how DDMDE identifies target DNA sequences and recruits partner enzymes to cut unwanted DNA, without relying on the genetic signatures required by CRISPR....
- 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...
