SU Interdisciplinary Team Wins $2M EFRI Grant from NSF to Understand and Control Bacterial Multicellular Systems and Bacteria-Host Interactions
Principal Investigator Dacheng Ren, assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering (BMCE) in Syracuse University's L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS) and member of the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute (SBI) along with co-PIs professors Rebecca Bader (BMCE and SBI), Yan-Yeung Luk (Chemistry & SBI), R. "Suresh" Sureshkumar (BMCE) and Ramesh Raina (Biology), have been awarded $2 million by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct research on deciphering and controlling the signaling processes in bacterial multicellular systems and bacteria-host interactions. This grant comes from the office of emerging frontiers in research and innovation (EFRI) and was only awarded to 14 teams nationally this year.
Bacterial tolerance to antibiotics and disinfectants cause numerous problems of infections and biofouling. Bacteria obtain such tolerance by forming sessile colonies in an extracellular matrix, known as biofilms; and by forming dormant persister cells, similar to spores.
