This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $250,000 to Towson University to support a 2-year study of the properties of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions and hydrogels using single-particle tracking techniques. The project aims to enhance the understanding of particle diffusion behaviors and microstructure in PEG materials, which is relevant to technologies that utilize PEG. The research will engage...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Lehigh University, in the amount of $199,999, aims to investigate the use of charged polymer complexes as a novel platform for dual drug delivery. The key objectives are: (1) complexing a charged degradable polymer with an oppositely charged peptide or protein; (2) monitoring the kinetics of the degradable polymer breakdown both as part of the complex and free in solution; and (3) incorporating a third...
This federal Project Grant award of $280,160, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), supports the development of inexpensive and reusable sorbents to cost-effectively remove palladium from the products of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. These types of reactions are widely used in pharmaceutical discovery, but their use in pharmaceutical process chemistry is limited due to...
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 $306,710 to support the development of a new glycan binding protein (GBP)-based glycosylation analysis system. The primary objectives are to: Expand the available data used for predicting glycan binding by collecting a large glycan array dataset with a wide dynamic range to improve estimates of binding affinity. Expand the...
This $446,239 federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports a systematic study of encapsulating small molecules into polymer nanoparticles using the flash nanoprecipitation method. The primary aims are to develop a predictive model for optimizing encapsulation efficiency based on the molecular properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, polymer, and solvents, as well as the...
This $381,616 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to develop design rules for polyelectrolyte complex micelles (PCMs) - a unique class of self-assembled nanoparticles for delivering hydrophilic payloads such as nucleic acids. The primary goals are to: 1) establish structure-property relationships between polymer/nucleic acid structure and PCM assembly, physical...
This $146,816 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of novel peptide catalysts for stereo- and site-selective carbon-carbon bond formation reactions. The project leverages automated fast-flow peptide synthesis and machine learning to access a broad chemical space of mid-length peptide catalysts containing non-natural amino acids. One research direction focuses on...
This federal Project Grant award of $305,426 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859). The grant is funding a research project at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst to develop a multiscale theory and experimental framework for understanding tissue fluidity and flow patterns in partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (PEMT) cell monolayers....
