This Project Grant award of $463,157 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports a research project to study the interplay between self-organization and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial populations. The project aims to: 1) advance a synthetic mutagenesis system to engineer Vibrio cholerae strains that enable tracking evolutionary processes in space and time, 2) use advanced...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $380,406.00 and issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), is funding a study on the "Host Evolution in the Wake of Contemporary Outbreaks of Disease" under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859). The study, to be conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona over the next 5 years from June 2025 to May 2030, aims to examine the evolutionary impacts on avian host populations in...
This $1,108,345 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to characterize the evolutionary transition of host-microbe interactions from commensal symbionts to blood parasites in apicomplexan organisms, which include the parasites that cause malaria. The project, led by the University of Rhode Island, will use advanced microscopy and genomics to compare the cellular invasion machinery between...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,166,250 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to understand how the joint effects of selection and other evolutionary processes shape patterns of genetic variation across compact genomes. The award, which runs from August 16, 2024 to June 30, 2029, will be used by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop new computational,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $1,140,912.00 in funding to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on host-microbiome coevolution and genetic variation in immunity using an insect model system. The project aims to understand the evolutionary forces maintaining host genetic variation related to the microbiome and how immune systems...
This $270,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate how host immunity influences the evolution of pathogen virulence. The research will leverage the C. elegans nematode model system to experimentally examine how different components of the immune system and variation in immunity across hosts impact the evolution of virulence in the bacterial pathogen...
This $550,108 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to investigate the molecular and mechanistic bases of biofilm microbial communities. The project, led by the University of California, Merced, aims to understand how transcriptional networks regulate gene expression during biofilm development, with a focus on fungi, bacteria, and archaea that are commensals...
This federal Project Grant award for $380,725 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to establish a molecular model for how viral receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) evolve new functions. The key research objectives are to: Test a proposed two-step molecular model for how RBPs gain new function, using high-throughput gene editing and phenotyping assays. Examine protein characteristics that...
This $379,823 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to define the mechanisms driving novel cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways in immune defense. The principal investigator, Dr. Benjamin R. Morehouse, Ph.D., will use a combination of bioinformatic analysis, biochemical testing, and structural biology approaches to explore cyclic nucleotide signaling systems...
This five-year, $490,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and education activities to understand how genetic and ecological sources of variation affect host-pathogen dynamics. The principal investigator will conduct field and laboratory experiments to determine how intraspecific variation in pathogen life history traits and host susceptibility influence outcomes of pathogen strain competition and long-term...
