The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a $1.0 million Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The award supports fundamental research investigating the physical principles governing gene regulation through three integrated methodologies: genomic perturbation using CRISPR technology, live-cell fluorescent imaging to observe dynamic chromosomal interactions in real time, and computational modeling combining physics-based simulations with artificial intelligence-driven analysis. The research specifically targets the MYC oncogene locus, examining how enhancer networks physically interact with genes through three-dimensional chromatin looping to control protein production, with implications for understanding cancer development and designing therapeutic interventions for genetic diseases. Beyond core research deliverables, the grant incorporates an educational component through the LabScience program, which develops and delivers hands-on science activities for high school students in hospital schools and other non-traditional educational settings. This dual focus on discovery research and STEM workforce development aligns with the Biological Sciences program's objective to advance understanding of major biological processes while strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise. Research will be conducted at Stanford's Palo Alto, California campus.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
