This $270,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The award supports research and training of the fellow that will contribute to biology in innovative ways, specifically investigating the evolutionary determinants of protein biophysics.

The research will determine the relationship between protein thermodynamic stability and effective population size, using rhinovirus as a model system. This will involve characterizing mutational trajectories in experimental, wild, and simulated populations, and measuring the stability and fitness effects of rhinovirus 3C protease variants. The fellow will receive training in protein biophysics and virology, and will engage in outreach, mentor students, and organize events for the protein evolution field. The research aims to advance understanding of evolutionary processes and inform the design and engineering of more stable proteins for medical and industrial applications.
