This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $10,000.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop a method for adding new connections to the signaling networks inside living cells. The project aims to implant microelectronic chips into cells that can sense kinase activities, monitor second messenger molecules, and trigger the release of mRNA, siRNA, or small molecules to "rewire"...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,508,357.00 was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The award will fund research at Yale University to develop "mechaswitches" - universal, modular and programmable signal transduction systems that can trigger specific cellular actions in response to mechanical signals. The goal is to combine state-of-the-art technologies in protein design, RNA...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), seeks to design well-defined single-copy human artificial chromosomes (HACs) for the regulated expression of multiple transgenes and genetic circuits. The $222,904 award will enable the development of programmable HACs to enhance the ability to explore cells through...
This $588,426 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), aims to investigate how transcription factors efficiently locate and bind to specific DNA binding sites within the crowded nucleus of living cells. The project will employ advanced microscopy techniques to precisely track the 3D diffusion, DNA interactions, and target site discrimination of transcription factors involved in...
This $422,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will fund research to advance the understanding of cellular signaling networks that control organ growth and tissue patterning in development. The 5-year project, led by the University of Massachusetts Boston, will investigate three key signaling pathways - the RTK/ERK pathway, Hippo signaling, and the Minibrain/DYRK1A kinase...
This $174,195 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop new cell sorting technologies based on measuring the fluorescence lifetime of the molecule NAD(P)H, which can indicate cell metabolic activity. The primary goals are to (1) create a single-cell deposition module that can identify stem cells within mixed populations based on NAD(P)H fluorescence lifetimes, and (2) separate metabolic subpopulations within stem cell lines...
This $1,000,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop single cell-level programming of human induced pluripotent stem cell differentiation into chamber-specific cardiomyocytes. The goal is to generate cardiomyocytes from each chamber of the heart through precise control of Wnt and retinoic acid signaling at the single cell level via engineered genetic programs and superstructures. If successful, this approach could establish...
