Wayne State University was awarded $749,702 by the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program on April 1, 2026, for a CAREER grant project extending through March 31, 2031. The project will identify and characterize biological carbon monoxide (CO) sensors from microbial systems to advance understanding of how CO is detected in living organisms and triggers cellular responses. The research focuses on microbial transcription factors that regulate oxidative CO metabolism, with particular emphasis on elucidating CO-dependent signaling pathways and the molecular principles governing CO-mediated signal transduction. This fundamental research seeks to unlock therapeutic applications of CO as a biological signal and metabolic nutrient by establishing the currently incomplete knowledge base regarding CO sensing mechanisms in biological systems. In addition to core research deliverables, the project incorporates an integrated educational and outreach component designed to enhance scientific communication and research skills among STEM students while engaging the public through programming related to blood biochemistry. The award supports research performance at Wayne State University's facility in Detroit, Michigan, and reflects the institution's established capacity to conduct federally-funded research across biomedical and chemical sciences domains. This CAREER award structure combines fundamental scientific investigation with workforce development activities, consistent with the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's emphasis on advancing both intellectual merit and broader societal impacts.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
