- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $740,797 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and test new methodologies for the rational design of minimalistic light-switchable single-domain proteins. The goal is to engineer these proteins to bind specifically to target proteins in only one photoswitchable chromophore state, allowing for precise spatial and temporal control...
- This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $426,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on developing novel protein-based materials for photosynthetic energy transduction.

- This $493,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on the evolutionary processes that enable a genus of ciliates known as Mesodinium to acquire and maintain phototrophy through organelle sequestration. The 3-year project will use comparative cellular, metabolic, and genetic analyses to understand the adaptations that allow some Mesodinium species to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $437,749 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The grant supports a research project to investigate a new class of luminescent protein materials and their potential applications in imaging, sensing, and biological tracking. The project aims to characterize the chemical and physical properties of known luminescent protein-metal compounds, and leverage...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $626,831 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular mechanisms behind how certain bacteria use light-sensing proteins called phytochromes to regulate essential developmental processes. The project aims to use advanced structural biology techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and time-resolved X-ray crystallography to study...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to identify a novel green fluorescent small molecule in the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Gyrodinium jinhaense AP17. The two-year award running from January 2023 to December 2024 will support postdoctoral research fellowship activities at Konstanz, Germany. The fellowship aims to determine the fluorescent molecule's structure, identify the underlying chemical and...
- This $476,910 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining light signaling in marine photosynthetic organisms.
