The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $672,000 to the Colorado School of Mines under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) on June 1, 2026, for a project titled "CAREER: Probing Pathway Complexity of Biomolecular Assemblies Through Coarse-Grained Deep Learning Models." The award supports a five-year research initiative (through May 31, 2031) that will develop computational tools combining physics-based simulations with machine learning to understand and predict biomolecular assembly pathways. The primary deliverable is a data-driven, multiscale computational framework that quantifies pathway complexity during stochastic, out-of-equilibrium biomolecular assembly by using path entropy production as a metric to distinguish thermodynamic versus kinetic control and predict preferential assembly pathways. Beyond the research framework, the project will produce interactive educational tools, including hands-on simulations and visual modules designed to introduce students to computational biology and data-driven science. These deliverables will support workforce development at the interface of biology, physics, engineering, and artificial intelligence. The research outputs are intended to enable new strategies for designing environmentally responsive biomolecular materials with applications in biotechnology, medicine, and sustainable manufacturing, thereby addressing national priorities in health, energy, and advanced materials.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
