Grant Award Summary The University of Alabama in Huntsville received a $538,930 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. This project grant funds the development of computational modeling and artificial intelligence tools to investigate circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters in the bloodstream and their role in cancer metastasis. The primary deliverables include: (1) a three-component computational modeling framework that simulates CTC cluster dynamics, movement through the circulatory system, immune system interactions, and cancer-type variations; (2) user-friendly, open-source software integrating the research models for accessibility to the scientific community; and (3) a dataset of experimental observations that continuously informs and refines the models. Additionally, the project delivers significant educational and outreach components aligned with NSF's workforce development priorities. These include the development of interactive K-12 workshops teaching cellular structure and computational modeling to students at various educational levels, and the integration of research findings into university courses at UAH. The project outcomes are intended to advance cancer diagnosis and treatment methodologies, particularly through strategies targeting CTC clusters, while building capacity in computational bioengineering education and open-source research tools.
