This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral fellowship to study the role of epigenetics in bacterial adaptation. The $270,000 award, granted on June 1, 2025, will fund research to uncover how epigenetic modifications influence the ability of bacteria, particularly E. coli, to survive and thrive in changing environments, including in response to antimicrobial compounds. The research aims to bridge fundamental science and real-world applications, with implications for understanding antimicrobial resistance, environmental health, and public health. In addition to scientific contributions, the fellowship will provide hands-on research experiences and mentorship opportunities for students, equipping them with skills for careers in science.
