- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $479,999 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University to explore the interactions between CRISPR-Cas systems and temperate bacteriophages. The 5-year research project, starting on March 1, 2025, aims to investigate how CRISPR-Cas systems, which protect bacteria from viral infections, can exploit the life cycle of temperate phages to acquire new memories. The findings are expected to inform...
- This Project Grant award of $440,000.00 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), is focused on two key research areas: Developing a quantitative understanding of the processes involved when contractile injection systems (e.g. phage tails, tailocins, Type VI secretion systems) breach bacterial cell envelopes. This knowledge will be applied to the design and retargeting of R-type pyocins...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the CFDA program "Biological Sciences" (47.074) is awarded to Trustees of Boston University to develop and optimize optogenetic tools for selecting bacterial cells based on dynamic, time-varying traits.
