This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant of $274,932 awarded to Femtofluidics Incorporated aims to develop hardware that can rapidly and inexpensively synthesize DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) to accelerate drug discovery. The project proposes a novel approach to combinatorial chemistry using an electronic substrate that can manipulate nanoliter-to-picoliter volume droplets without any...
This $1,384,726 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of an open-source ecosystem for nucleic acid nanotechnology modeling. The grant funds the deployment of new simulation servers, improvements to the graphical user interface, and the creation of a network of developers through in-person and online training workshops. This ecosystem, called OxDNA, provides simulation...
This $480,000 federal Project Grant was awarded on January 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The objective of the project is to use advanced laser techniques and molecular-level simulations to study the ultrafast dynamics of complex molecular conformations, particularly in relation to the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA. Professors Katharine Tibbetts and Ka Un Lao of...
This $393,263 National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant will support collaborative research between the University of California, Davis and the University of Utah to study DNA repair mechanisms. The research aims to apply a chemical biology approach to reveal insights into base excision repair glycosylases that identify and initiate repair of rare DNA bases with subtle damage. Specifically, the team will develop transition state mimics to test the idea that evolutionarily...
This $658,000 project grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the CFDA program titled "Mathematical and Physical Sciences." The project, led by Professors Hsin-Chih Yeh and Devleena Samanta at the University of Texas at Austin, aims to develop new types of functional nucleic acid molecules for detecting and imaging chemicals under various settings. Specifically, the researchers will use advanced selection, synthesis, and signal...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the development and experimental validation of computational tools for the design of DNA-based molecular devices and systems. The $300,000 award to the University of New Mexico aims to integrate high-level and low-level computational models to enable simulation-guided design of DNA nanostructures and molecular systems. The project will also...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $480,002 project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for the project "DNA-TEMPLATED SUPRAMOLECULAR SYNTHESIS OF WIREFRAME POLYMERS" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year project beginning August 1, 2021 will support the development of DNA-templated synthetic methods to create wireframe polymers with targeted shapes and properties. The Mathematical and Physical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research awarded a $499,999 Project Grant to Arizona State University (ASU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year grant project aims to: 1) create 3D DNA crystal scaffolds to host and determine the structure of RNA aptamers; 2) attach and immobilize functional proteins like enzymes within the crystal lattices to develop catalytic materials; and 3) develop sub-100 nm DNA nano-crystals to...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), in the amount of $642,000, will fund research at Northwestern University to develop novel hybrid protein-DNA supramolecular structures. The key objectives are to: (1) design generalizable strategies for site-specific DNA functionalization to control proteins in 1D arrays; (2) create dynamic, DNA-driven 2D protein lattices; and (3) utilize DNA interactions to facilitate...
