The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,048,299 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) on August 1, 2025. The funding will support the acquisition of a LUMICKS C-TRAP correlative force and fluorescence optical tweezer system, which will enable real-time observation, monitoring, and quantitation of interactions between biomolecules, cells, and other nanomicro-scale materials. This instrument will benefit a wide variety of research programs across multiple disciplines, including RNA structure and function, developmental biology, viral infection dynamics, and drug development. The grant will help establish a regional hub for interdisciplinary and collaborative research at the RNA Institute of the State University of New York at Albany, providing new imaging capabilities that are currently unavailable in the local area.
