- The U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $416,625 Project Grant to Saint Louis University under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop innovative optical tools to control endogenous G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in unmodified cells and in vivo. The project aims to: (1) enable optical control of endogenous GPCRs, (2) control GPCRs and endogenous G proteins at specific subcellular locations like the Golgi and nuclear...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $495,964 project grant to Saint Louis University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research into developing a conceptual framework for the rare dual-release photochemistry of sulfoximes and sulfondiimines. Professor Ryan McCulla of Saint Louis University's Department of Chemistry will investigate the photochemistry of these compounds, which can release two different reactive...
- This $244,450 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to understand the catalytic mechanisms, structural dynamics, and biomedical importance of two key classes of metalloenzymes: matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and iron(II)/2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases. The project, spanning July 2025 to June 2030, aims to provide missing knowledge on these...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $535,000 to Case Western Reserve University to support research developing new classes of organic compounds absorbing one or two photons in the near-infrared range for applications including photodynamic therapy. Professor Carlos E. Crespo-Hernández will lead efforts to deliberately design and synthesize thionated organic photosensitizers...
- The project grant award of $1,925,000 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to investigate the structural dynamics and regulation of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) at Saint Louis University. The research aims to uncover the conformational changes of the MPC during pyruvate transport and inhibition using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy techniques, as...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), is funding the development of new fluorescent imaging probes that can detect and map reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in living cells. The goal is to create a toolkit of probes with different optical characteristics spanning the visible spectrum, enabling multi-color imaging of these oxidative metabolites. This $540,053 award...
This $556,651 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of novel photosensitizers using earth-abundant transition metals rather than traditional noble metal compounds. The project aims to achieve complementary photoreactivity and enable sustainable organic reactions and photodynamic therapies by leveraging metal-metal bonds to facilitate red-shifted absorption. Specifically, the research will yield a new class of multimetallic earth-abundant metal photosensitizers for photoredox catalysis, as well as multimetallic carbon-monoxide-releasing-molecules for photo-dissociation of CO in the therapeutic window. The project is being conducted by Saint Louis University, a private, non-profit Jesuit research university, over the period of September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
