- This $448,150 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop a DNA-based toolbox for the rapid and precise modulation of cell membrane protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The goal is to establish a modular approach using antibodies and aptamers to enable targeted DNA barcoding of cell membrane proteins, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases. This will allow for the controlled stabilization of specific PPI pairs on living...
- This $480,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel approaches for assembling three-dimensional protein biomaterials. The primary goal is to create "coordinated protein frameworks" (CPFs) - extended protein lattices with defined geometries and tunable distances between the assembled proteins. This work leverages non-canonical amino acids to precisely control the...

The project aims to leverage breakthroughs in protein structure prediction using deep learning and extensive genomic data to...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $248,782 awarded on March 15, 2022 will fund the development of computational tools and a database for understanding intrinsically disordered protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions through February 28, 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), Purdue University will create three interlocking computational methods at the 1D, 2D, and 3D levels to advance prediction and modeling of tertiary structures for...
- This two-year, $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of a new antibody and sequencing-based strategy to comprehensively map and monitor dynamic protein interaction networks at high-throughput and single complex resolution. Specifically, the grantee, Columbia University, aims to barcode antibodies to uniquely identify up to hundreds of target proteins and employ a combinatorial barcoding split-pool...
- This $795,135 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Illinois on protein dynamics under extreme environmental conditions. The four-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will fund three related subprojects investigating how proteins adapt to enable organism survival in stressful environments like heat, pressure and dehydration. The research will study intrinsically disordered protein structure and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $536,946 will support research at the University of California, San Diego from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
