Sofou and Team Awarded a Collaborative Research $569K NSF Grant for the Study of "Unique Binding Geometries"

The National Science Foundation /CBET  awarded to Professor Stavroula Sofou and to co-PI Professor Yannis Kevrekidis (Princeton University) a 3-year grant to use collective measurements as well as single molecule optical tracking techniques to develop – and subsequently computationally test - mechanistic hypotheses for the kinetics of binding between unique nanoparticle geometries and single receptors or assemblies of receptors. The findings of this study will contribute to ultimately designing high impact nanoparticles for theranostic applications.
