This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award provides $273,652 to Phage Refinery LLC to develop a rapid, efficient parametric model for predicting the likelihood that a given bacteriophage (phage) will be able to survive sufficiently long in the presence of an active immune system to be effective as a treatment against their target bacterial infection. The goal is to accelerate the development of phage-based therapies as an...
This three-year, $452,499 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of novel bacteriophage purification workflows using electrokinetics. The Rochester Institute of Technology will receive funding through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to define the electrokinetic signatures of diverse bacteriophages, formulate purification protocols that optimize phage stability during electrokinetic separation from cellular material, and characterize purified phage samples....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $189,811 project grant to The College of Wooster under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 2-year project is to develop an optimal combination phage cocktail and antibiotic therapy to treat antimicrobial resistant infections. The research will leverage mathematical models to identify characteristics of bacteriophages that show promise as therapeutic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to research the adaptive response of bacteria to bacteriophage infection and high hydrostatic pressure. The fellow will develop novel fluorescence microscopy techniques to quantify bacterial growth, cell size, and morphology under these environmental stressors using model organisms E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. piezotolerans. The project...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support Colorado State University's development of phage-based biological drones to selectively target and destroy specific bacteria within biofilms. Over a two-year period from October 2022 to September 2024, the university will engineer minimal phage genomes that can deliver bacterial killing mechanisms only when a target bacterium such as Staphylococcus aureus is detected. The immediate...
This $479,864 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Iowa State University aims to develop synthetic bacteriophages (phages) as biosensors for rapidly identifying and enumerating pathogenic bacterial strains. The "Synthetic Phages for Identifying and Enumerating Strains (SPIES) of Bacterial Pathogens" project will leverage advances in synthetic biology and paper-based sensors to create phage-based technologies that can...
This federal Project Grant award of $500,408 from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems supports collaborative research between Northwestern University and the University of Washington from September 2021 through August 2024. The research aims to engineer MS2 bacteriophage capsid assembly using systematic fitness landscapes, as described in the NSF Directorate for Engineering program. This program seeks to improve quality of...
This $216,478 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at New Mexico State University in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the pathogenicity of bacteria surviving water disinfection processes. The two-year project beginning February 1, 2023 will explore the impact of chlorine water treatment on bacterial pathogens using advanced cellular assays and metatranscriptomics....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $263,392 awarded on October 1, 2021 will fund the development of a spatial-temporal predictive framework for the drinking water microbiome through June 30, 2023. Under the NSF Engineering Directorate's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the awardee Georgia Tech Research Corporation will establish a long-term observatory to monitor microbiome dynamics in Boston's water distribution system. They will develop novel econometric and ecological...
This $714,053 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) aims to develop an optimized "n-phage cocktail" for treating extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR-PA) infections. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a translational LC-MS/MS assay for quantifying the five individual phages in the cocktail (LUZ19, E215, PYO2,...
