This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $497,000 in funding to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct research on the mechanobiology of viral infections. The study aims to explore how mechanical forces, such as changes in tissue stiffness and cyclic strain, impact virus-cell interactions in lung tissue. Specifically, the research will investigate how matrix stiffness and cyclic strain affect viral infection...
This $197,160 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to define the mechanisms by which extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. The project aims to: 1) Define how ECM stiffness regulates the transcription factor NRF2 activity in vitro; and 2) Determine the role of NRF2 regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in fibrotic interstitial lung...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), aims to measure and understand the molecular mechanisms of viral nucleocapsid self-assembly and disassembly. The $370,190 award, effective May 10, 2025 through March 31, 2030, will use a combination of quantitative experimental methods, including interferometric scattering microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy, to study...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $440,454 to The Washington University to study epithelial cell mechanobiology in mechanically heterogeneous microenvironments.
