- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $550,000 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research led by Professors Timothy Strathmann and Shubham Vyas at the Colorado School of Mines. The project aims to advance a photochemical technology for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are persistent contaminants in drinking water. The research focuses on understanding the underlying...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to develop enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of harmful chemicals that are costly and difficult to remove from the environment due to their stable carbon-fluorine bonds. The project aims to engineer specialized enzymes that can degrade these bonds, which could unlock...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research aimed at discovering enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS).
