Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute received a $251,498 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on June 15, 2026. The award supports collaborative research investigating long-range signaling and computation in microtubules, with work to be completed by May 31, 2029. The research will deliver fundamental scientific knowledge through an integrated program combining computational modeling with single-molecule and cellular-level experiments to test the hypothesis that microtubule polymers function as signal transmitters and amplifiers within cells, rather than serving solely as structural elements. The project will produce basic research outputs advancing understanding of conformational signaling mechanisms in biopolymers, with anticipated applications spanning cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, cancer biology, and bioengineering. Results are expected to open a new field of cellular communication via microtubules and may inform future approaches to address chemotherapeutic drug resistance in cancer treatment and enable bioengineered responses to multiple cellular inputs. The research will be conducted at the awardee's location in Troy, New York.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
