This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) in the amount of $364,969 will fund the development of a toolbox of switchable and functional fluorescent probes for multi-functional super-resolution microscopy (MF-SRM). The overarching goal is to enable new experimental and computational studies in the fields of chromatin epigenetics and spatially-resolved multi-omics by decoding the intricate biophysical and biochemical functions underlying molecular processes. The award, with a period of performance from September 15, 2024 to July 31, 2029, will support four key research thrusts: 1) engineering chromophores to decouple fluorescence from environmental factors for MF-SRM, 2) leveraging biophysical probes to study chromatin structure-function relationships, 3) developing photon upconversion-based fluorophores for parallel super-resolution interaction and functional imaging, and 4) disseminating the functional fluorophores and MF-SRM imaging capabilities. The project will be performed by North Carolina State University, a prominent 1862 Land Grant institution with extensive experience in federal research and development across scientific and technological domains.
