- This $425,486 federal Project Grant award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The project aims to study the evolutionary history and functional diversification of the CD300 gene family, which encodes immune receptors implicated in human health issues like cancer, inflammation, and viral infections. Using a multi-omic approach, the research will map the molecular and...
- This $502,071 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Merced to define metabolic complementation within the sea anemone microbiome. The research aims to advance understanding of how microbial communities cooperate to enhance the fitness, health and survival of eukaryotic hosts. Specifically, the three-year award will fund work to quantify the microbiome's impact on host fitness using gnotobiotic sea anemones, reintroduce isolated microbial...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the assembly, diversification, and coevolution of microbiomes associated with marine invertebrates. The $590,677 award to New College of Florida aims to elucidate the rules governing host-microbe relationships across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales.
