The project establishes rigorous mathematical theory and quantitative methods for interpreting complex experimental data on messenger RNA and protein dynamics, with emphasis on...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University $153,870 on January 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for collaborative research on stochastic shape processes and inference. The project develops statistical frameworks for modeling how biological and other shapes change over time, capturing variability in shape changes across objects and populations. The work enables investigation of the link between form and function through formal mathematical methods that represent shapes as elements of quotient spaces on nonlinear manifolds and model shape changes as stochastic processes on these complex spaces. Proof-of-concept applications include modeling changes in cell morphology and topology during motility and division, and changes in human posture during various activities, with potential to inform understanding of cell division failure and improve human postures in factory tasks. The methods developed are designed for broader applicability across scientific domains beyond these specific applications. The award supports a collaborative team of investigators from the United States and the United Kingdom. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland, with work concluding July 31, 2027.
