The project aims to: (I) dissect the molecular basis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PG) coordination and the physiological consequences of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $738,612 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The grant funds research into membrane fluidity and its fundamental and functional roles. The University of Delaware will conduct theoretical and computational research, while the University of California San Diego will receive a...
- This $1,953,590 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program was made to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to enable automated deposition of scientific data for three-dimensional structures of large biological molecules like proteins, DNA, and RNA. The project will develop computer software to streamline data contribution tasks for the Protein Data Bank and Electron Microscopy Data Bank, two open-access...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $440,327.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The purpose of the grant is to investigate the mechanisms by which gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli, traffic essential lipoproteins to the outer membrane, a critical barrier that protects these organisms. The research aims to uncover alternative lipoprotein trafficking pathways...
This $791,029 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project titled "RUI: LIFE WITHOUT LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE- SYNTHESIS OF CERAMIDE PHOSPHOGLYCERATE" at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Camden. The project aims to discover how the ceramide lipid CPG2 is synthesized and understand its role in allowing gram-negative bacteria to survive without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in their outer membrane. This research will contribute to elucidating the functions of bacterial lipids and their importance in various microbial environments, including the human body. The grant also provides training opportunities for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in genetics, biochemistry, and structural biology. The project will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028.
