The University of Central Oklahoma was awarded an $851,856 project grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, to support research under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program.

The grant will fund computational modeling research to evaluate various two-dimensional materials beyond graphene for faster and more affordable DNA sequencing using electronic methods. Researchers will perform first-principles studies on elemental 2D materials such as silicene, germanene and phosphorene, as well as transition metal dichalcogenides and van der Waals heterostructures. The goal is to identify materials with properties like tunable band gaps and strong DNA base coupling that can enhance signal-to-noise ratios for improved detection. Undergraduate and graduate students will assist with the research and receive training in computational materials modeling. Results are intended to guide integration of 2D materials into electronic devices for direct-read DNA sequencing. The three-year award period began in September 2022 and will strengthen the research environment at the University of Central Oklahoma.
