- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $200,000 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on "Defining Barriers to Nucleosome Mobility Through Single-Molecule Manipulation". The research aims to understand how nucleosomes, the DNA-protein structures that package chromosomes, can spontaneously slide along DNA and be actively moved by cellular enzymes called chromatin remodelers. This...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems Project Grant of $500,000 awarded to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) aims to develop a novel, label-free method for dynamically sensing chromatin packing and structure in live cells. The 3-year project leverages the principles of fractal sensing and coherent confocal light absorption and scattering spectroscopic microscopy to create a 3D dynamic map of chromatin...
- This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene expression....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $501,269 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
