- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of advanced tools for genetic manipulation of bacteria, with a focus on marine Vibrio bacteria. The $427,981 award, effective October 15, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will fund the creation of new CRISPR-based techniques to precisely control gene expression in bacteria, enabling a wide range of biotechnology applications. The project will test these...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $479,999.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to The Johns Hopkins University. The project, titled "CAREER: Exploring Novel Interactions between CRISPR-Cas Systems and Temperate Bacteriophages", will investigate how CRISPR-Cas immunity systems, a powerful gene editing technology, interact with temperate bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria). The research aims to enhance...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research to characterize the function of an unknown protein found in many bacteria, including pathogenic strains. The $300,000 award, effective from February 15, 2025 to January 31, 2028, will investigate how this protein influences the synthesis of bacterial pili, which are structures used for attachment and biofilm formation. The project aims to provide a foundation...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded the University of Wisconsin System $621,502 on August 15, 2023 for a project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EDGE FGT: DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE SELECTION LIBRARY TO RECONCILE CORE METABOLIC KNOWLEDGE GAPS".
