This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $418,016 to Arizona State University (ASU) to establish molecular mapping of subcellular structures in the photosynthetic algae Chromera velia and develop transformation tools to enable functional analysis. The funding period is from July 18, 2025 to June 30, 2027. This research aims to yield insights into the evolutionary origin of cellular processes essential for the intracellular parasitic lifestyle of Apicomplexan organisms, which cause diseases like malaria and toxoplasmosis. The project will also create new molecular genetic and cell biology tools to further evolutionary cell biology research on Apicomplexans.
