This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $450,000.00 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study how the structures of synthetic molecules can be tailored to recognize and bind to specific target molecules for detection in biosensors and potential therapeutics. The project aims to develop computational methods to predict the interactions between nanoparticle "corona" phases and target analytes, enabling the reverse engineering of molecular structures to recognize specific molecules. This work has the potential to lead to new types of biosensors and medical/environmental tests that can detect signaling hormones, toxins, or other indicators of stress or disease. The award supports fundamental research in this area and the training of the next generation of scientists and engineers through STEM education initiatives.
