The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $574,023 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. on July 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research on modeling large macromolecular systems using artificial intelligence (AI) and reinforcement learning. The three-year project, concluding June 30, 2029, will deliver three primary research products: (1) generation of the energy landscape for macromolecular systems to enable accurate computational simulation; (2) development and implementation of an AI-based modeling protocol that leverages structure-based molecular interaction expertise; and (3) application of this framework to study the emergent behavior of crystallin proteins during lens assembly in crowded, cell-like environments at physiologically relevant time scales. This collaborative initiative addresses a critical gap in structural biology by combining complementary expertise in molecular structure modeling, reinforcement learning theory, and experimental protein aggregation studies. The research is expected to advance biotechnology sector capabilities for exploiting biological systems to produce materials with industrial and medical applications. Additionally, the project incorporates significant educational components, providing graduate and undergraduate students with training in AI applications to molecular biology and expanding their career opportunities in this interdisciplinary field.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
