The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,140,912 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The 5-year grant, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, will support research to understand host-microbiome coevolution and genetic variation in immunity using an insect model system. The research program takes advantage of the pea aphid, an insect that reproduces...
The University of Washington was awarded a $441,250 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program) to conduct research on bacterial chromosome organization. The key objectives are to: 1) elucidate the mechanism of the GAPR protein as a model for understanding how bacteria and bacteriophages control positive supercoiling to proliferate, 2) identify additional topoisomerase regulators in bacteria and...
This Project Grant award of $729,010 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program supports research to characterize novel bacteriophage (phage) lysis protein mechanisms. The 5-year project at Texas A&M University aims to elucidate the molecular strategies phages use to lyse bacterial cells, including in prevalent gut microbiota. Planned activities include in-depth genetic, biochemical, and microscopy...
