- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Johns Hopkins University totaling $856,135. The award will fund research to develop and apply new single-molecule methods to measure protein production in individual live cells, rather than population averages. The goal is to better understand the regulatory mechanisms governing when and where protein production occurs in cells. In addition to the core research, the project...

- This $605,020 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research conducted by Professor Byron Purse of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at San Diego State University. The research aims to determine how molecular structure and local environment influence key properties of fluorescent nucleobase analogues (FBAs), which are synthetic molecules that mimic natural genetic bases and enable sensitive...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $460,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Drs. Harish Vashisth from the University of New Hampshire and Esteban A Orellana Vinueza from Dartmouth College. The 3-year grant, effective September 1, 2025, supports collaborative research to study how chemical modifications to transfer RNA (tRNA) bases affect the structure, folding, and dynamics of tRNA isodecoders, which are...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,529 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to develop novel "LOC-SEQ" technologies for genome-wide screening of factors affecting mRNA localization. This research aims to bridge the gap between identifying spatially localized RNAs and understanding the mechanisms directing their localization, initially focusing on mitochondrial localization in yeast and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $401,490 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop a modular toolset for imaging cellular metabolites using fluorogenic RNA riboswitches. The project aims to engineer fluorescent probes that can selectively detect and measure key metabolites, such as sugars and fatty acids, within living cells in real-time. This novel approach will enhance research in human health, nutrition,...
