The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded the University of Louisiana at Monroe a $379,887 Project Grant (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering program) on August 15, 2026, for research on freeze-induced protein instability. The project, scheduled for completion by July 31, 2029, will deliver fundamental research findings and experimental data on the mechanisms of cryopreservation-induced damage in biologics. Specifically, the project will quantify air bubble-related interfacial stress across various freezing conditions, develop a library of proteins with diverse surface properties, and generate experimental evidence regarding the relationship between deaeration and protein susceptibility to air-water interfacial damage. The research will establish controlled freezing protocols and stress management techniques to improve the stability and shelf life of temperature-sensitive biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and proteins during storage and shipping. In addition to primary research deliverables, the project will produce educational and workforce development products through training of graduate and undergraduate students in cryopreservation science and interfacial engineering research. The investigators will also conduct high school outreach programs on interfacial science and engineering applied to familiar materials including food, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. These research outcomes are expected to enhance the resilience of the biotechnology and medical supply chains by enabling damaged biologics to be refrozen without additional degradation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
