Oregon State University received a $200,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. This collaborative research project focuses on elucidating the structure and function of direct delivery peptides—a novel class of molecules capable of crossing cell membranes and delivering therapeutic cargo with greater efficiency than classical cell-penetrating peptides. The research team investigates the mechanisms by which these peptides interact with membrane lipids and function within chemically complex biological systems by developing laboratory-based membrane models that closely approximate natural cellular conditions. The deliverables under this award include fundamental scientific research findings on peptide-membrane interactions, peer-reviewed publications, and educational outcomes through the training of undergraduate and graduate students in interdisciplinary research methodologies. Additionally, the project incorporates outreach activities designed to introduce students to cell membrane science and biomaterials. The outcomes are expected to advance the scientific understanding necessary for designing new molecular delivery systems capable of transporting therapeutic agents into cells, thereby contributing to broader biomedical applications and strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise in materials research and biotechnology.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
