Vanderbilt University received a $431,236 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) Project Grant awarded on August 15, 2026, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The five-year award, extending through July 31, 2031, supports the development of an integrated computational framework for spatial transcriptomics data analysis and three-dimensional tissue reconstruction. The primary deliverable is open-source software that combines graph representation learning, local alignment, contrastive learning, and optimization methods to enable researchers to integrate spatial genomics data across multiple tissue sections and reconstruct three-dimensional tissue architectures. This computational toolkit will support analyses of spatial organization, tissue topography, developmental trajectories, and cellular interactions, with evaluation across diverse biological systems to ensure broad applicability and scalability. Beyond the core research products, the award integrates educational components designed to strengthen the bioinformatics workforce and scientific pipeline. Deliverables include research internship opportunities for high school students, online bioinformatics micro-credentials for professional development, and science communication activities that engage students in computational biology. All software, documentation, and educational resources will be disseminated as open-source materials to maximize accessibility and impact across the biological research community.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
