The University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division received a $662,791 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029. The project develops novel scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) methodology to investigate single-biomolecule behavior on DNA-modified surfaces. Specifically, researchers will engineer a tethered entity electrochemistry system utilizing catalytic metal nanoparticles attached to electrode surfaces via nucleic acid aptamers, enabling detection of analyte interactions through changes in nanoparticle collisional frequency. The grant deliverables include fundamental research advances in single-molecule electrochemistry with direct applications to healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and threat detection through unprecedented sensing sensitivity. The project generates peer-reviewed publications and technical innovations in surface design while providing interdisciplinary training to graduate and undergraduate researchers in biophysics, biochemistry, and electrochemical measurement science. This basic research effort aligns with NSF's core mission to advance mathematical and physical sciences by revealing molecular-level processes typically obscured in bulk measurement techniques.
