Arizona State University received a $373,802 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. The award supports a CAREER project focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning approaches to decode polymer-drug interactions and enable rational design of polymeric micelle drug carriers. The primary deliverable is the establishment of predictive principles for drug loading by integrating quantum computational tools with experimental research to identify key molecular interactions such as π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. This research aims to transition drug carrier design from trial-and-error methods to AI-guided engineering of high-loading carriers tailored to specific pharmaceutical compounds, addressing the significant challenge that over 90% of drugs in development suffer from poor water solubility. Beyond the core research activities, the project encompasses substantial educational and workforce development components. Arizona State University will develop new undergraduate laboratory modules and an elective course that integrates computational methods with formulation science, provide research experiences for K-12 and graduate students, and create an educational game titled "CODE-A-CURE" to broaden STEM engagement. These broader impacts align with the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's emphasis on strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise while training the next generation of researchers in AI-enabled materials science and drug delivery technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
