About this opportunity
Synopsis The NSF BIO Foundations of Life thematic area emphasizes fundamental research in natural and synthetic living systems – including neural systems – from diverse organisms. This research aims to improve understanding of structure, dynamics, mechanisms, functions and regulation at multiple scales of biological organization, from biomolecules and supramolecular assemblies to cells to organisms. Research projects may address topics, such as, but not limited to the following: Principles governing biomolecular interactions, including quantum phenomena. Biomolecular and supramolecular structure, assembly and dynamics.Cell structure and dynamics. Biomechanical principles of organismal function. Integrated physiological processes. Neuroscience scaling from cellular to behavioral levels. Dev...
