The University of Arizona received a $625,000 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. This project grant supports fundamental research to establish the relationship between gene network regulation and label-free biomedical imaging (LBI)—a non-invasive optical imaging technology. The primary research deliverables include: (1) defining how alterations in gene networks correspond to changes in LBI contrast across tissue samples; (2) developing novel LBI image features and feature extraction algorithms that better represent transcriptomic signatures; and (3) creating artificial intelligence (AI) models that digitally analyze and classify tissues without requiring chemical assays. These research products will advance diagnostic capabilities for disease detection and tissue health assessment. In addition to research outputs, the award includes a comprehensive educational component designed to prepare future leaders in bioengineering and AI. Deliverables include developing new interdisciplinary learning activities that combine biology and AI for both student and public audiences, with the objective of improving public understanding of AI and preparing students for careers in modern science and technology. The project is conducted at the University of Arizona's Tucson campus and supports NSF's broader mission to advance national competitiveness in biotechnology, optics, and artificial intelligence.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
