The University of Missouri At Kansas City received a $535,000 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering, Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems Division (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. This project grant supports fundamental research and educational activities focused on enabling the design and manufacture of in situ forming lipid-based lyotropic liquid crystalline gels (IL3GELS) that assemble at liquid-liquid interfaces. The research deliverables include establishing a predictive framework for gel formation and functional performance through three integrated objectives: elucidating the compositional, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors governing gel stability and phase behavior; predicting phase trajectories and morphological transitions using mass-transfer modeling and structural simulations; and demonstrating controlled gel printing through manipulation of interfacial flow instabilities for biomedical applications. In addition to advancing next-generation biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue repair, and cancer therapy applications, this CAREER award includes significant educational and outreach components aligned with NSF's workforce development priorities. The project will deliver a virtual reality platform enabling K-12 students and teachers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, to explore biomaterials science through an immersive laboratory environment. These research and educational products support national priorities in advanced manufacturing and biotechnology while building the engineering workforce pipeline through integrated research-to-education activities.Federal Grant Award Summary
