This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), provides $1,683,145.00 to the University of Chicago to investigate the mechanisms governing the self-organization and interactions of diverse actin cytoskeleton networks in cells. The research aims to determine how cells allocate actin monomers between competing actin filament networks to control network size and density, as well as...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), will provide $402,500 to New York University (NYU) to develop a novel approach that combines modular fluorophores and correlative super-resolution microscopy. The goal is to investigate the structure, dynamics, and interactome of bacterial biomolecular condensates and understand their role in various aspects of the...
This $109,255 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under CFDA Program 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training, supports research to determine how the material state of protein complexes influences mechanisms of protein quality control in bacteria, and to develop systems for spatially regulating bacterial protein condensates. The research aims to advance understanding of the differences between bacterial protein condensates and...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) has awarded a $441,250 Project Grant (R35GM154727) to the University of Washington to investigate regulators of 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...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $357,666 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of Missouri System to study the coordination of complex dynamics by DNA manipulating enzymes. Over the 5-year project period from July 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, the researchers will use a combination of single-molecule force and fluorescence measurements, as well as computational methods, to investigate the activity and...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $645,905 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Yale University. The grant supports research to characterize the dynamics of chemotactic signal processing and the role of cell-to-cell variability in chemotactic behavior across bacterial species, including Vibrio cholerae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Key objectives include understanding how a common signaling architecture can be...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $788,940 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to investigate the function of bacterial cytoskeletal elements in the division and growth of Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen. The project aims to 1) understand how the MreB cytoskeletal protein is maintained at the division septum and the role of...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $2,070,444 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of Chicago to characterize the genetic and evolutionary determinants of population variation in transcriptional responses to pathogens.
